Built on the hill of Shui Ngau Ling of 30 metres high, the aviary pagoda is the highest structure in its surroundings and the landmark of the Yuen Long Park. The 7-storey pagoda is red in colour and of Chinese architectural style. At the top level of the pagoda, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of all Yuen Long Town as well as a fine distant view of Ping Shan, Ha Tsuen, Shap Pat Heung and the new town of Tin Shui Wai.

The lowest storey of the pagoda is converted into an open aviary. The open aviary at the bottom of the pagoda has a floor area of 85 square metres and is planted with various kinds of trees, shrubs and potted plants in order to imitate the wood environment and provide a shelter for the birds, which is similar to their natural habitat.

The aviary pagoda houses more than 100 birds of 29 species such as Black Bulbul, Emerald Dove, Peking Robin, Hwa-Mei, Java Sparrow, Black-crested Yellow Bulbul, Grosbeak Starling...... Having entered the aviary through the revolving door, visitors will find themselves surrounded by birds which are singing and flying freely.

An ideal area for visitors to conduct various kinds of leisure activities.

【Conservation Corner】

In order to promote the conservation of wild birds, butterflies and dragonflies, this area is designated as a Conservation Corner. To tie in with this aim, we are taking an ecological approach in our general horticultural maintenance. Apart from using less chemicals, we plant more native flowering and fruit bearing trees and keep pruning and vegetation clearance to an absolute minimum so as to preserve the habitats of wildlife.
