The work was undertaken under Agreement No. PLNQ 13/2007 (hereafter referred to as the Assignment). This area, near the boundary with Shenzhen, is not yet covered by any statutory town plan and the establishment of a database of built heritage is therefore important in future land use planning for this area. 1.2 STUDY AREA The Study Area (see Figure 1.2a ) is located in the northern New Territories close to the border with Shenzhen and mostly within the Frontier Closed Area. The Assignment focuses on the Sha Tau Kok area in the east, Ta Kwu Ling area in the centre and Ma Tso Lung/Lok Ma Chau (east of San Sham Road) area in the west 1.3 APPROACH TO THE ASSIGNMENT The Assignment was executed in accordance with Section 6 of the Assignment Brief and made reference to the Antiquities and Monuments Office’s (AMO) practice for conducting built heritage surveys. It serves as the basis for future reference and makes no assessment of the relative value of individual identified features. The general approach to the Assignment included: a desktop study, field survey and reporting phase, each of which is described below. 1.3.1 Desktop Study The objective of the desktop study was to compile an inventory of the features with cultural heritage value or with potential cultural heritage value within the Study Area, comprising: • all pre-1950 buildings and structures; • selected post-1950 buildings and structures of high architectural and historical significance and interest; and • cultural landscape and features including sites of historical events or providing a significant historical record or a setting for buildings or monuments of architectural importance, historic field patterns tracks and fish ponds and cultural elements, such as Fungshui woodlands and clan graves. ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT 1 1.3.2 Field Survey Field surveys were conducted between 20 June and 10 December 2007 to identify features with potential cultural heritage value that until now had gone unrecorded. This exercise included field scanning, the taking of photographic records and interviews with village representatives. 1.3.3 Reporting The outcome of the desktop research and field survey findings are presented in the Final Report. This details the features with or with potential cultural heritage value identified within the Study Area. Historical and architectural appraisals, photographic records and location plans are presented in the Final Report. ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT 2 2 FINDINGS 2.1 FEATURES CODING The Study Area is divided into four survey areas: Study Areas A to D as shown in Figure 1.2a. A unique alphanumeric feature code was allocated to each identified feature with or with potential cultural heritage value. Each code was prefixed with a three or four letter code denoting the sub-area: • Study Area A: STK • Study Area B: TKLE • Study Area C: TKLW • Study Area D: MTL For features with or with potential cultural heritage value located within a village, coding using the village name was adopted, for instance, ST01 refers to the first feature identified in Shan Tsui village. Table 2.1a provides a list of these codes. Those features located outside villages and that have not been associated with any local place name were given the purely sub- area/numerical code, for example, STK01 was the first site identified in the Study Area A.

Declared Monuments – statutorily protected against the threat of development under the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance to enable preservation for posterity; 2. Deemed Monuments – these are features with cultural heritage value where agreements are in place with the owners to ensure preservation. Deemed Monuments can be upgraded to statutory Declared Monuments under the AM Ordinance ; and 3. Graded Historical Buildings – these are historical buildings and structures recorded by AMO according to the grading system summarised in Table 2.2a . ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT 4 Table 2.2a AMO’s Grading of Historical Buildings Grade Description 1 Buildings of outstanding merit; every effort should be made to preserve these structures if possible. 2 Buildings of special merit; effort should be made to selectively preserve these structures. 3 Buildings of some merit, but which have yet to qualify for consideration as possible monuments. These are to be recorded and used as a pool for future selection. It should be noted that the definitions of gradings are internal guidelines adopted by the Antiquities Advisory Board and the AMO for the preservation of historic buildings but have no statutory standing. Although there are no statutory provisions for the protection of recorded archaeological sites and historical buildings and features (including Deemed, Graded and recorded), administrative procedures are available. Any development proposal affecting these built heritage resources should be submitted to the AMO for comments. 4. Other Features with potential Cultural Heritage Value – Features as defined in Section 1.3.1 (pre 1950s buildings and structures, post 1950s buildings and structures of high architectural/historical significance, other cultural and landscape features) excluding Items 1 to 3 above. 2.3 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS 2.3.1 Declared Monuments, Deemed Monuments and Graded Historical Buildings No Declared Monuments or Deemed Monuments were identified within the Study Area. Ten Graded Historical Buildings were identified and are listed in Table 2.3a and shown on Figure 2.3a .

The military buildings include six forts (STK02, TKLE01, TKLE02, TKLW02, TKLW03 and MTL01) constructed between 1949 and 1953 (1). These were built on prominent hilltops by the southern part of the Shenzhen River and served as observation posts to overlook the border between Hong Kong and mainland China (2). All the forts face the Shenzhen River, are two storeys high and are constructed in a similar style: with a rounded central portion and two side wings on the ground floor. One wing was generally used for sleeping quarters for up to eight people and the other for cooking. Each has a store room. The ground floor of the central area served as a communication or command room and the second floor as an observation tower. Both floors are constructed with ramparts and gun-slot iron openings. Double iron doors are located at the entrance.

The views expressed in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the opinions of Civic Exchange, Noble Group or the reviewers. Report layout and illustrations by Jonas Chau. Foreword South China, including Hong Kong and Macau, depends on the Pearl River and its tributaries. It is in our interest to protect, restore and sustain these rivers and the watershed as a whole for all times. The other major river systems in China – the Yellow and Yangtze rivers – suffer from severe pollution and over-use. The threats facing the Pearl River, although serious, are of a lower order of magnitude by comparison. It is thus incumbent upon the south to ensure that the key source of life is much better managed. Civic Exchange is grateful to Noble Group for funding this research to focus attention on the Pearl River watershed.

Y-Space has been invited by international arts festivals and arts organizations to perform and conduct artistic exchange. To date, its Improvisation Land series has reached its 42nd series, while its Dancing All Around series has gone beyond the 10th mark. Since 2009, Y-Space has been hosting the i-Dance HK festival. Now in its 18th year, Y-Space has become an important arts group on the Hong Kong contemporary dance through creating new work, promoting dance and providing training, education and research work through activities conducted at community level and at the Y-Space Dance Studio. 3 導演的話 寫在《門》邊上 田戈兵 2014年的《鐵馬》之後，香港似乎漸行漸遠。 去年在北京遇見馬才和嚴明然夫婦，馬試探我：「願不願在他來年新作 裏做劇場構作？」我很快答應，雖然有這樣那樣的時間問題，但我好奇 這個「不靠譜」的想法。當然，還有一個原因就是想看看四年以後的香 港現況。

  • Memorandum of Understanding on Jointly Developing the Lok Ma
    (English translation) Memorandum of Understanding on Jointly Developing the Lok Ma Chau Loop by Hong Kong and Shenzhen between the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government and the Shenzhen Municipal People’s Government Introduction In order to establish a “Hong Kong/Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park” (“the Park”) in the Lok Ma Chau Loop (“the Loop”), the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (“HKSAR”) Government and Shenzhen Municipal People’s Government (“both sides”) have agreed to jointly develop the Loop (actual location shown in the attached Plan 1). This Memorandum of Understanding (“the MOU”) is signed by both sides, following friendly negotiations. Background In accordance with Order No. 221 of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China promulgated on 1 July 1997 (the “State Council Order No. 221”), after the training of the Shenzhen River, the boundary will follow the new centre line of the river. The Loop, originally within the administrative boundary of Shenzhen, has since been included within the administrative boundary of the HKSAR. On 25 November 2011, both sides signed the Co-operation Agreement on Jointly Taking Forward the Development of the Lok Ma Chau Loop (“the Co-operation Agreement”). Out of respect for the above historical fact, both sides have agreed to co-operate in taking forward the Loop’s development under the “One Country, Two Systems” principle, and in accordance with the laws of the HKSAR, as well as following the principle of “co-development and mutual benefit”. Both sides subsequently conducted proactive negotiations in accordance with the Co-operation Agreement and reached a consensus to jointly develop the Loop into the Park, construct relevant higher education and complementary facilities in the Park and formulate this MOU.

  • Chapter 7 Strategic Environmental Assessment
    Planning Department Agreement No. CE 60/2005 (TP) Land Use Planning for the Closed Area – Feasibility Study Final Report 7 STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT To examine the future use of areas to be released from the existing Closed Area and put them under planning control, Strategic Environmental Assessment Study (the SEA Study) is conducted to provide strategic and regional environmental information and suggestions to address any potential environmental conditions, so as to achieve sustainable development in the Study Area. The SEA study is not intended to be a project-based study. The purpose of this Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Report is to evaluate at strategic level the potential landuse environmental impacts, the cumulative environmental impacts and environmental sustainability implications of the planning framework of the Recommended Development Plan (RDP) formulated under the Main Study. Major environmental issues in relation to air quality, noise, water quality, hazard, landfill, waste, ecology and cultural heritage have been evaluated. Environmental mitigation measures to address the impacts and follow-up investigations requirements are recommended together with the policy and institutional framework arrangements, where applicable.
