On 30 January 2026, the entire S5 Biology class visited the Mai Po Nature Reserve Centre as a practical learning activity linked to HKDSE Biology Chapter 19: Ecosystems. Widely recognised as Hong Kong’s “Bird Paradise,” Mai Po attracts approximately 60,000 migratory birds annually, creating a breath-taking spectacle during their winter migration to roost in Deep Bay. Managed by WWF-Hong Kong since 1983, the reserve boasts a rich variety of wetland habitats—including traditional Gei Wai (shrimp ponds), mangroves, intertidal mudflats, and reedbeds—making it a vital habitat and stopover site for water birds.
