◆Know more

Although Hong Kong is full of skyscrapers and shopping malls, there are also many natural reserves out there. There are five marine parks that are designated for the conservation of the unique and valuable environment. If you visit a marine park, you may find numerous aquatic and geological wonders. Multi-layered rock formations, corals, waterfalls, and even dolphins are among what you can see in these wonderful parks. The good water quality attracts diverse marine life.
