  • Integrated Planning and Design of a Flood Relief Project for Sheung Wan Low-Lying Area
    INTEGRATED PLANNING AND DESIGN OF A FLOOD RELIEF PROJECT FOR SHEUNG WAN LOW-LYING AREA Mr. CHAN Kin-kwong, Chief Engineer Drainage Services Department, Hong Kong SAR Government Mr. TAM Kit-fan, Senior Engineer Drainage Services Department, Hong Kong SAR Government Ms. LEUNG Yuen-hei, Engineer Drainage Services Department, Hong Kong SAR Government Abstracts Sheung Wan is one of the earliest settlements in Hong Kong. A low-lying area of about 10 hectares in Sheung Wan, which is an important business and financial district and a reputable shopping place for dried seafood and swallow’s nest, is susceptible to flooding during heavy rainstorms when coincided with high tide. Before construction After completion Figure 1 – Overview of the site of Sheung Wan Stormwater Pumping Station from Shun Tak Centre 1 To relieve the flooding problems in this low-lying area of Sheung Wan, the Drainage Services Department has recently completed some drainage improvement works in 3 phases. Phase 1 includes construction of 660m of intercepting drains to intercept the stormwater runoff from the upland and divert it away to another drainage system. This reduces about 30% of the surface runoff from getting into the Sheung Wan low-lying area. Works started in March 2006 and was completed in June 2008 (construction cost for Phase 1 works is HK$39 million). Phases 2 and 3 include construction of a stormwater pumping station and an underground storage tank of 9,000 cu m capacity for discharging surface run-off collected at the low-lying area to the harbour, and a penstock to stop the back-flow of seawater (construction cost for Phases 2 and 3 is HK$ 200 million).

The Rise and Fall of the Taiwan independence Policy: Power Shift, Domestic Constraints, and Sovereignty Assertiveness (1988-2010) Abstract How to explain the rise and fall of the Taiwan independence policy? As the Taiwan Strait is still the only conceivable scenario where a major power war can break out and Taiwan's words and deeds can significantly affect the prospect of a cross-strait military conflict, ot answer this question is not just a scholarly inquiry. I define the aiwanT independence policy as internal political moves by the Taiwanese government to establish Taiwan as a separate and sovereign political entity on the world stage. Although two existing prevailing explanations--electoral politics and shifting identity--have some merits, they are inadequate to explain policy change over the past twenty years. Instead, I argue that there is strategic rationale for Taiwan to assert a separate sovereignty. Sovereignty assertions are attempts to substitute normative power--the international consensus on the sanctity of sovereignty--for a shortfall in military- economic-diplomatic assets.

  • When Is the Best Time to Go to Hong Kong?
    Page 1 of 98 Chris’ Copyrights @ 2011 When Is The Best Time To Go To Hong Kong? Winter Season (December - March) is the most relaxing and comfortable time to go to Hong Kong but besides the weather, there's little else to do since the "Sale Season" occurs during Summer. There are some sales during Christmas & Chinese New Year but 90% of the clothes are for winter. Hong Kong can get very foggy during winter, as such, visit to the Peak is a hit-or-miss affair. A foggy bird's eye view of HK isn't really nice. Summer Season (May - October) is similar to Manila's weather, very hot but moving around in Hong Kong can get extra uncomfortable because of the high humidity which gives the "sticky" feeling. Hong Kong's rainy season also falls on their summer, July & August has the highest rainfall count and the typhoons also arrive in these months. The Sale / Shopping Festival is from the start of July to the start of September. If the sky is clear, the view from the Peak is great. Avoid going to Hong Kong when there are large-scale exhibitions or ongoing tournaments like the Hong Kong Sevens Rugby Tournament because hotel prices will be significantly higher. CUSTOMS & DUTY FREE ALLOWANCES & RESTRICTIONS • Currency - No restrictions • Tobacco - 19 cigarettes or 1 cigar or 25 grams of other manufactured tobacco • Liquor - 1 bottle of wine or spirits • Perfume - 60ml of perfume & 250 ml of eau de toilette • Cameras - No restrictions • Film - Reasonable for personal use • Gifts - Reasonable amount • Agricultural Items - Refer to consulate Note: • If arriving from Macau, duty-free imports for Macau residents are limited to half the above cigarette, cigar & tobacco allowance • Aircraft crew & passengers in direct transit via Hong Kong are limited to 20 cigarettes or 57 grams of pipe tobacco.

OVERVIEW 2. The Government has launched a policy initiative of Pier Improvement Programme (PIP), aiming to upgrade the structural safety and facilities of a number of existing public piers at remote areas in the New Territories and outlying islands, with a view to enhancing accessibility of some scenic spots and natural heritage as well as meeting the basic needs of local villagers relying on boats as their main transportation mode or fishermen’s operation. We are implementing the first phase of PIP covering ten public piers in full swing. Among them, the construction works for Pak Kok Pier on Lamma Island started in April 2020, the design work of Kau Sai Village Pier in Sai Kung District and Lai Chi Chong Pier in Tai Po District has been substantially completed, and the remaining piers are continuing with the design work at full speed. In view that the public welcome and support the implementation of PIP, we have advanced to kick off the second phase of PIP to enhance another 13 public piers, and the associated engineering feasibility studies would commence progressively from mid of this year.
