Some 38 per cent of Hong Kong's total land area has been designated as
country parks. The 23 country parks provide extensive hiking trails, barbecue
sites, picnic sites, camp sites and visitor centres which attracted over
11 million visitors in 2003.
There are four marine parks and one marine reserve
for the conservation of marine life. In these marine parks, visitors may
appreciate and receive educational information on the beauty and diversity
of marine life in Hong Kong. The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation
Department manages the country parks, the marine parks and the marine
reserve. |
