Wildlife in Hong Kong

Do you know that around 75% of land in Hong Kong remains undeveloped in the name of “nature reserve”? Of course there are other sneaky reasons behind, but let’s just leave them for now…
But thanks to the reserve, a huge variety of wildlife gets to live peacefully on the countryside.



You can find different species of butterflies in the Butterfly Garden; meet the famous crocodile Pui Pui in the Hong Kong Wetland Park; enjoy the scene of migratory birds taking refuge in the Mai Po Nature Reserve; look for the Chinese white dolphin around Hong Kong waters…

You don’t want things that only flourish in eco-tour ads? What about something more common?

Like monkeys? If you have been to the country parks in Hong Kong before, you may have run into them, or the other way round. They are there for food. They can be pretty hostile when fighting for their stomach, and they come in groups. So if they see you carrying anything that looks like food or plastic bags from grocery stores…then beware, and be prepare to abandon what you have in your hands.
And have you seen wild boars before? Usually they can be found in New Territories. While they tend to stay away from humans and urban area, some will stumble upon parks or residential area by accident. And you think hungry monkeys are bad? Well, wait until these things charge at you… They may look like cute piglets, but they can be dangerous, especially when scared.

There are also the dangerous Homo sapiens called “Hongkongers”, which can use weapons and can get really aggressive over monetary interest…
Oh look, I am so witty that I make fun of my own species!


…Yeah, that’s why I have no friend.
