Mangrove Forest is an ecological drawing card and a Demonstration Area for Ecological & Leisure Tourism in Zhuhai, one of the top 10 featured landscapes in the Pearl River Delta.

Mangrove Wetland is an internationally recognized ecological harmonious landscape with the highest natural and humanistic values. Qi’ao Mangrove Wetland Ecological Park has a mangrove forest of 700 hectares, which is the largest such restored area in China. It integrates ecological protection, landscapes and tourism, scientific research, exhibitions, and sci-tech popularization, manifesting an ecological picture of humans and nature, science and the environment.

Qi’ao Mangrove forest is a resounding business area located in the northwest Qi’ao Island of Tangjiawan Town, Zhuhai City, and is the largest such forest in the Pearl River Delta.

With hundreds of mangrove plants, such as kandelia candel, Tung flower, Acanthus ilicifolius, and Cerbera manghas, it has become an ecological habitat for numerous birds. Tens of thousands of birds of over 90 kinds, including egrets, herons, cranes, and wild duck fly here for shelter and breeding each year.

Walking on the mangrove boardwalk, you are able to breathe clean, fresh air and observe mudskippers and fiddler crabs. At dusk, egrets fly back home along the reed shore, in loose formation against the setting sun.
