Fung Lok Wai is situated in north-western part of Hong Kong, between Hong Kong Wetland Park and Nam Sang Wai. The place consists mainly of fish ponds, and as it is neighbouring Mai Po Inner Deep Bay Ramsar Site, many water birds reside there. It is also the wintering or stopover site for many migratory birds.

The area attracts many visitors and photographers during blossom season of the Pontederia Crassipes which spread over the fish ponds.
