    CB(1)1429/08-09(01) Hon Cheung Hok-ming, SBS, JP Chairman Panel on Transport Legislative Council Legislative Council Building 8 Jackson Road, Central Hong Kong Dear Mr. Cheung, Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge (‘HZMB’) and public opposition to the Hong Kong Link Road (‘HKLR’) route The purpose of this letter is to urgently bring to the attention of the Panel on Transport the extent of public opposition to the proposed route of the HKLR of the HZMB after the bridge ‘lands’ in Hong Kong territory. Tung Chung Sustainable Development and other local organisations working to promote sustainable development have voiced concerns to the Highways Department regarding the impact of the proposed HKLR route and made counter proposals for a viable alternative. We request the Legislative Council Panel on Transport to urgently review the counter proposal and take account of the public opposition to the road route proposed by the Highways Department. Details of the negative impact of the HD / Arup proposed route for the HKLR for the HZMB are in the attached documents. Most importantly, the proposed route will have a huge negative impact on the health of local residents because of the proximity of vehicle emissions from a major highway. As management professionals we favour sustainable development and do not appose the construction of the HZMB, but we do object to the proposed route. We urge you to table the details of the no pollution solution to the Panel on Transport during your meeting on Friday 24th April. Yours sincerely, (Martin Purbrick) for Tung Chung Sustainable Development Alliance c.c.

Gecreëerd door : Cityseeker 10 Locaties in uw favorieten Victoria Peak "Hong Kong's Top Tourist Stop" At a height of 552 meters (1,811 feet), Victoria Peak is Hong Kong's highest point and one of the most visited of the island's many attractions. The Peak, as it is locally known, boasts spectacular views of the city's skyline, backed by the bustling Victoria Harbour. By night, the view transforms into a glittering sea of vibrant lights. A walk around the Peak by Daniel Case reveals views over the greener Western parts of Hong Kong Island, and a visit to the viewing platforms at the Peak Tower and Peak Galleria is a must. It is a steep climb to the top, and while hikers are welcome, an inexpensive tram is also available. The oldest funicular in Asia, the Peak Tram is over 125 years old. With a steep ascent, the tram links Central to the Peak Tower. The Peak is also known for its lovely gardens, most notably that of the old governor’s summer lodge with its faux-Victorian design.

Older generations of Hong Kong people may still remember the reliance on ferry to get to Mui Wo, Tung Chung, Sha Lo Wan and Tai O before the completion of bridges and expressways to the Chek Lap Kok Airport. Mui Wo was the then main gateway to Lantau, busy and crowded during holidays. Places in south Lantau, including Pui O, Cheung Sha and Tong Fuk, were also popular attractions, and the Po Lin Monastery in Ngong Ping always attracted a huge crowd. The selection of Chek Lap Kok as the site for the airport was an epoch-making decision, and the subsequent implementation of the Airport Core Programme in north Lantau in the early 1990s was a watershed in the evolution of Lantau.
