Not such simple!! Green, Marsh and Wood Sandpipers can also have white/whitish tail or rump. Did you see any other features? Albatross

Nordmann's Greenshank is very rare in Hong Kong in winter, and thus I imagine it occurs only very exceptionally, if at all, at Po Yang which is much further north. Try to take a more detailed description of birds you are not sure about, as it will make it easier for you to identify them. Geoff Carey
