Futian Mangrove Ecological Park

Located in the northeast estuary of Shenzhen Bay where Xinzhou River and Shenzhen River meet, Futian Mangrove Ecological Park is in the east side of the Futian Mangrove Nature Reserve, the only nature reserve in an urban area in China. Opposite the park is Hong Kong Mai Po Nature Reserve, which also constitutes part of the Shenzhen Bay wetland ecosystem.

Shenzhen is an important stopover for migratory birds' journeys along the East Asia-Australia Flyway. There are more than 100 species of birds and about 100,000 migratory birds flying here to spend the winter. The nature reserve, a paradise for birds and home to a wide range of plants, has been acclaimed for many years as one of the 10 most beautiful wetlands in Guangdong. 

On Nov. 9, 2022, Futian Mangrove Ecological Park snatched Star Wetland Center Award. The Old Site of Shazui Wharf (沙嘴码头旧址) in the park is an ideal spot for observing black-faced spoonbills.
