Mai Po Nature Reserve

The missionary couples become your family away from home and whenever we get the opportunity we get together for some sort of activity. We caught a bus to Yeun Long which is near the border of mainland China. It was a 45 minute bus ride and then a short cab ride out to Mai Po. The nature reserve is a wet land with thousands of migratory birds. They have a visitor center, a warden’s office with very strict regulations, several hides (sheds you go into to watch the birds), boardwalks, floating boardwalks, mangroves, freshwater ponds with fishermen pulling their catch in, and a floating bird hide. To get to the floating bird hide, you enter gate 107, which takes you into mainland China.

We all took lunches and had a great time and had a great time.
