Plan 元朗區 Yuen Long District

Editorial responsibility: Elena Voss · Roavina Travel Editor

Yuen Long District occupies the northwest of Hong Kong's New Territories and encompasses both developed urban areas and rural landscapes. The Mai Po Nature Reserve and Hong Kong Wetland Park preserve wetland ecosystems, while Tsui Sing Lau Pagoda and Tai Fu Tai represent the district's historical architecture. The area holds appeal for those interested in wetland ecology and traditional Cantonese heritage, though cultural attractions are modest.
