  • Minutes of 933 Meeting of the Town Planning Board Held on 3
    HONG KONG TOWN PLANNING BOARD Confidential (downgraded on 8.5.2009) Minutes of 933 rd Meeting of the Town Planning Board held on 3.4.2009 Agenda Item 6 Submission of the Draft Development Scheme Plan for the Urban Renewal Authority Shanghai Street/Argyle Street Development Scheme (MK/01) (TPB Paper No. 8314) Deliberation Session 1. The Chairperson said that the discussion of the Board should focus on the boundary of the draft Development Scheme Plan (DSP), the DSP approach and the planning intentions and uses as stated in the Notes and the Explanatory Statement (ES) of the draft DSP. Boundary of the draft DSP 2. A Member considered the boundary of the draft DSP acceptable, and supported the inclusion of the 10 pre-war shophouses and four intervening post-war buildings in the draft DSP. The post-war buildings would allow flexibility for the future design and provide the necessary solution space for the provision of essential building services according to the current standards. This Member also agreed that the two buildings adjoining the Scheme Area being relatively new and in fair conditions should not be included. Other Members agreed. DSP Approach 3. A Member said that given the diminishing number of pre-war shophouses in Hong Kong, the proposed DSP approach was necessary to pre-empt piecemeal redevelopment of the shophouses within the Scheme Area. This view was supported 2 by another Member. The Chairperson added that without a DSP, there was no mechanism to prevent owners from redeveloping their properties under the current "Residential (Group A)" zoning.

  • Traveling to Hong Kong with Food Allergies
    Traveling to Hong Kong With Food Allergies Food allergies don’t have to stop you from traveling. Whether traveling for business or pleasure, careful preparation and communication will help make your trip safe and enjoyable. This guide provides some helpful tips for traveling to Hong Kong as well as information on understanding food labels and dining out at restaurants. Medication Bring a kit with all your medications, including extra epinephrine auto-injectors. Also carry an Emergency Care Plan that outlines recommended treatment in case of an allergic reaction, is signed by a physician and includes emergency contact information. Be sure to bring extra copies with you and keep your plan in a place where others can find it. It is important that you and your travel companions understand what to do in case of an emergency. You can download and print an anaphylaxis pamphlet that teaches how to react during anaphylaxis at www.allergyhk.org/?p=619. Communicate clearly with the airline to allow you carry your epinephrine auto-injectors on the plane. Bring printed proof of your permission when you check in, because airport ground staff might have different expectations despite your having already confirmed your needs. It is recommended that you also show the prescription label from the pharmacy. You should have your doctor complete a Travel Plan that confirms your food allergy and travel requirements. Ask your doctor to write prescriptions that you can carry with you. Epinephrine auto-injectors are available in Hong Kong. However, epinephrine auto-injectors are not common in Hong Kong, so it is recommended that you bring enough with you for your trip.

  • A Critical Study of the Public Space in Hong Kong
    MCS symposium on 23 February 2013 A Critical Study of the Public Space in Hong Kong Lo Ka Man Claire The blatant increase of malls and the continuous decrease of public space in the city are both undeniable facts. Some people accuse the private property developers of privatizing the public space and some argue that Hong Kong Chinese do not have the tradition of spending time in public space at all. This essay aims at revealing the needs of public space by Hongkongers and how public space in the territory is eaten up by both private property developers and the government. These will then be followed by some suggestions on how the co-existence and the balanced development of the private and public space can be made possible in Hong Kong. Definition of Public Space Before analyzing the topic, it is necessary to give a clear definition of public space. The term “public space”, when translated in Cantonese, is always mixed up with the concept of “public place”. The latter includes “all piers, thoroughfares, streets, roads, lanes, alleys, courts, squares, archways, waterways, passages, paths, ways and places to which the public have access either continuously or periodically, whether the same 1 MCS symposium on 23 February 2013 are the property of the Government or of private persons”.1 Yet, “public space” is much more than just a place of public access. In addition to the meaning of a public place, there are two more criteria for public space, including being accessible by all and being able to be used by all.

  • 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.
