Country Park and Marine Parks

Despite Hong Kong's dense urban environment, opportunities for outdoor
recreation are not lacking. There are 22 country parks provided with
barbecue sites, picnic sites, camp sites and extensive hiking trails. In
1997, over 10 million visits were made to these parks covering some 40
per cent of Hong Kong's total land area.

In addition to country parks, three marine parks at Hoi Ha Wan; Yan Chau
Tong; and Sha Chau and Lung Kwu Chau; plus one marine reserve at
Cape D'Aguilar, are being managed for nature conservation and education.
Opportunities for public enjoyment of our marine environment will be
provided in marine parks. The Agriculture and Fisheries Department
manages the country and marine parks.
