The Greater Bay Area enjoys a subtropical monsoon climate, resulting in temperate winters and intensely tropical summers. In the parts affected by marine currents, many tropical and temperate species join the community.

About 'Journeys in Nature': Greater Bay Area Series

Comprising Hong Kong, Macao and nine cities in south China's Guangdong Province, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is one of the largest and most populated urban areas in the world and has bustling wildlife. A crab spider has targeted a wasp, a fairy pitta mother is busy with child-rearing, and other forest residents, such as Chinese flying frogs, crab-eating mongooses and silver pheasants, are wandering along the rivers and streams while the marine creatures have their own roles to play in the undersea community. Stay tuned for more!
