Purpose 1.1 This paper aims to brief members on the programme to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the opening of MacLehose Trail. 2. Background 2.1 MacLehose Trail, opened on 26 October 1979, was the first long-distance hiking trail in Hong Kong. This 100-kilometre trail is divided into ten sections, traversing the New Territories from East to West through eight country parks namely Sai Kung East, Sai Kung West, Ma On Shan, Lion Rock, Kam Shan, Shing Mun, Tai Mo Shan and Tai Lam. Winding along coastline, rugged mountains, valleys and reservoirs, the trail offers to hikers varied hiking experience and breathtaking scenery of the countryside as well as overlooking view of the cityscape of the Kowloon Peninsula. This famous trail has been named as one of the world’s 20 dream trails by National Geographic. 2.2 This year is the 40th anniversary of this iconic hiking trail. To commemorate this special occasion, the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) is going to launch a celebration programme from September to December 2019 to promote the fun of hiking and showcase the stunning natural beauty, interesting heritage and relics and amazing wildlife along different sections of MacLehose Trail. AFCD will collaborate with green groups, hiking associations and partners in organising the activities and promulgating to participants environmentally friendly outdoor practices (e.g. take you litter home, leave no trace) and hiking safety. 3. The Celebration Programme 1 3.1 Complete Walk on MacLehose Trail 2019 The “Complete Walk on MacLehose Trail” was the first public hiking event on MacLehose Trail after its opening in 1979. -
