Mai Po
on the northwest coast of the New Territories, neighbouring the
Deep Bay, is the China's 7th Lamma Marshland which is a series
of shrimp and fish ponds, and endless stretch of mangrove forest
and the muddy swampland a paradise for birds and invertebrate
and also a resting-place for migratory birds after making an arduous
long journey. The area having recorded about 430 kinds of birds
of 50 species is one of the internationally acknowledged birds
protection areas. From October every year to April the following
year are the seasons for the migratory birds to stopover at Mai
Po Marshes which gives rise to a panorama of birds paradise. For
the visitors who are interested in natural beauty, there is no
harm done in taking a view of this picturesque scenery right here.
