It is a 61 hectare wetland reserve that have been set aside by the Hong Kong government as a educational, recreational ,ecological and conservation zone. It has a mangrove , mudflat, riverside and fishpond zone, with boardwalks, viewing decks and bird hides to enable the visitor an opportunity to experience wild life at a closer range. There are also exhibits, workshops and ecology training available on a regular basis. The discovery center was constructed following green building principles and highlight a a huge living / green roof and natural daylighting.
