The weather has really heated up in Hong Kong and with summer on the doorstep, we would like this opportunity to enjoy the many colourful wings on display from Hong Kong's Butterflies. 

Join us for an immersive ecological excursion to the Fung Yuen Butterfly Reserve, a premier biodiversity hotspot nestled just north of Fung Yuen Lau Wai. Spanning approximately 42 hectares of protected conservation land, this vibrant valley is a sanctuary for an incredible array of butterfly species and native wildlife.

We have organised a booking for 20 attendees for the 2-2.5hr Nature and Cultural Centre and Butterfly Reserve. 

HK Natural History Society Registered Members will get priority for these spots. The fee includes the instructor fee and admission to Fung Yuen Butterfly Reserve.

The Highlights:

• Diverse Ecosystems: walking trails that wind through rich, varied habitats, each offering a unique glimpse into Hong Kong's thriving local flora and fauna.

• A Photographer Paradise: As one of the region's most celebrated butterfly-watching locations, you'll have unparalleled opportunities for macro photography and rare species sightings.

• Note: This guided tour is tailored specifically for our members to deepen their understanding of local conservation efforts.

• Spaces are limited to ensure a high-quality, low-impact experience for the environment. Secure your spot today and connect with fellow nature enthusiasts in one of Hong Kong's most treasured ecological gems!
