Yuen Long

Yuen Long anchors the rural side of Hong Kong's New Territories, a region of walled clan villages and rice paddies that stood apart from the harbor city for centuries before new towns and rail lines connected it to the rest of the territory. Kat Hing Wai, a fortified Punti village with its original stone walls and moat still intact, remains inhabited by descendants of the clan that built it in the 16th century. Hong Kong Wetland Park, on the district's edge near the Shenzhen border, protects mangroves and mudflats that host migratory birds along the East Asian flyway. Traditional Hakka and Punti clan halls are scattered through nearby villages. Talent covering Yuen Long lists here on a subscription basis, and the platform handles the booking and the payment.
