The first “Shui Hau Harvest Festival” runs from the Start of Winter to the Beginning of Spring in the following year, spanning the entire winter season.
HKBWS shares four years of wetland conservation work in Shui Hau – #RevivingPaddies and #EcologicalConservation – through a series of public events.
At year-end, we held “Harvest Month” and “Abundance Celebration” in Shui Hau. This January, we bring four years of conservation highlights to the city with a public exhibition at Festival Walk!
Join us on a transformative journey from mud-soaked marshes to golden paddies ✨
