According to the percentage of three bar charts, we found that most tourists prefer views of nature. Here, we would like to recommend ‘Hoi Ha Wan Marine Park’ which the tourists should love.

A Place You Shouldn’t Miss

The Hoi Ha Wan Marine Park is one of the first Marine Parks established in Hong Kong. It was designated on 5 July 1996. Hoi Ha Wan Marine Park is a sheltered bay located north of Sai Kung West Country Park. It covers an area of about 260 hectares. The landward boundary follows the high water mark along the coastline.

Ecology of Hoi Ha Wan

Marine Park Mangrove:

A small mangrove community is located at the estuarine of the Hoi Ha Wan Marine Park. The mangrove community occupies about 0.53 hectares . Four native mangrove species including Kandelia candel, Aegicera corniculatum, Excoecaria agallocha and Bruguiera gymnorrhiza are recorded in this mangrove community.

Two other native mangrove plants, Avicennia marina and Lumnitzera racemosa has also been recorded in other mangroves sites in Hoi Ha Wan Marine Park.

Mangrove areas commonly act as nursery grounds for juvenile fishes and other intertidal and subtidal invertebrates.

Coral Communities and Other Marine LivesHoi Ha Wan Marine Park is a sheltered bay with pristine water quality, so it provides a good marine environment for housing a great variety of marine organisms. It is well known that Hoi Ha Wan Marine Park has lush coral communities.

Historical Remnant One of the famous scenic heritage spots in Hoi Ha Wan, is the remnants of lime kilns. There are 4 lime kilns in Hoi Ha Wan but only 2 remain relatively intact. They are located on the eastern shore of inner Hoi Ha Wan.

Fifty-nine out of 88 stony coral species recorded in Hong Kong can be found in this marine park.The hard corals Cyphastrea spp., Echinophyllia spp., Favia spp., Favites spp., Goniopora spp., Leptastrea spp., Lithophyllon spp., Pavona spp. and Platygyra spp. are dominant in either one or more coral sites within the Marine Park. Over 120 species of reef-associated fishes have been recorded in this Marine Park.

Furthermore, records of the wide variety of marine animals in this marine parks such as starfish and jellyfish, further demonstrate its ecological significance.
