Of Fish and Birds: Fishpond Visit and Lunch
Hong Kong boasts almost 1000 hectares of beautiful fishponds, where delicious local freshwater fishes are farmed. Other than providing us with natural landscape and fresh food, the fishponds play a vital role in being the feeding grounds for wintering migratory birds such as the black-faced spoonbill.
Join Slow Food Hong Kong this spring to be stunned by the breathtaking scenery of Tai Sang Wai fishponds in our proud collaborative event with the Hong Kong Bird Watching Society. Learn about the history of the fishponds, their operation and their close relationship with birds, as well as watch birds with the Society’s expert guide. There will be an opportunity to meet with local fishermen to discover the fish farming process. The event finishes with a home-cooked fisherman’s lunch featuring local fish.
