Thought you’d enjoy reading about where I think is great in Hong Kong to spot different wildlife - an absolute passion of mine but something I know so many people love about living in HK. You may already know we have a great collection of Hong Kong Wildlife products at The Lion Rock Press. In case you haven't spotted them take yourself over to this LINK to see puzzles, games, books and prints featuring some of Hong Kong's most well known creatures!
East Asian Porcupine
Being nocturnal animals, you can often see them on night hikes, especially the Morning Trail and Black’s Link.
Burmese Python Snake
Found across the territory, from Hong Kong Island to the New Territories. These snakes prefer less developed areas and favour habitation close to water or marshlands. I highly recommend a night Snake Safari with William Sargant (https://www.gunghoevents.com/adventure).
Changeable Lizard
I recently saw this lovely pair in Lions Park in Sai Kung and another at the start of the Buffalo Hill hike. You can find them commonly around Hong Kong.
Chinese White Dolphin (Pink Dolphin)
You can see these dolphins off Lantau. Sign up for a morning of dolphin watching with the Hong Kong Dolphinwatch. It’s such a privilege to see them up close.
Wild Boar In Hong Kong
All over Hong Kong. Keep your eyes peeled on the Bowen Road walk in Central
Golden Orb Weaver Spider
All over Hong Kong, especially on hiking trails in the summer.
Insects In Hong Kong: The Lantern Bug
There are two trees in Aberdeen Country Park which I always see at least one on!
Black-Eared Kite
All over Hong Kong. From the inner city to the Aberdeen Reservoirs and outlying islands.
