Randy W Posted June 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 in the SCMP Six of the best islands to visit in Hong Kong: escape the urban jungle and retreat to the city’s last bastions of laid-back life Six gems in the South China Sea offer nature, a trip back in time and sunset views amid the ocean breeze But it’s easy to forget that this city of over 7 million people has a unique geography, with nature at its doorstep – or just a ferry ride away. While classic destinations such as Cheung Chau, Lamma, and Lantau islands usually feature in visitors’ itineraries, City Weekend explores six other sun-soaked spots, among Hong Kong’s 263 land masses dotting the waters of the South China Sea.

Randy W Posted March 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 from the SCMP What you should know about Hong Kong’s country parks ... and are they under threat in city’s thirst for land?From sub-zero conditions on Tai Mo Shan to unique rock formations at the Geopark and a monkey kingdom in Kam Shan, some 40 per cent of city’s land area is set aside for Mother Nature In 1976, the government enacted the Country Parks Ordinance for a legal framework to conserve, maintain and provide open natural spaces for public enjoyment. The Country and Marine Parks Board designated 24 country parks, four marine parks, and 22 special areas in the region, totalling more than 440 sq km of land – all dedicated to conservation, leisure, and education. Most of these classifications occurred in the 1970s. In recent years, the government has mulled designating Robin’s Nest, or Hung Fa Leng, as the 25th country park. . . . The argument for leaving Hong Kong’s greenery untouched centres on the vital ecological and psychological roles country parks hold – woodlands are integral in sustaining the city’s water supply. While most of Hong Kong’s water now comes from the Dongjiang in Guangdong province, a quarter of the city’s supply comes from rain. 1 Link to comment
