You will also need a 'Mai Po Marshes Entry Permit' to enter the Reserve which you can apply for by writing to:
The Director, Agriculture, Fisheries & Conservation Department, 5/F - 7/F, Cheung Sha Wan Government Offices, 303 Cheung Sha Wan Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong

If you wish to go out through the Frontier Closed Area (FCA) Border Fence and onto our Floating Boardwalk and Hide to see the birds on the Deep Bay mudflats, you must apply for a separate 'FCA Permit' from the Hong Kong Police Force through WWF-Hong Kong. These permits normally take about eight weeks to be processed and there will be a handling fee of HK$100/person for each permit.
