立法會 Legislative Council LC Paper No. CB(2)1419/15-16(04) Ref : CB2/PL/FE Panel on Food Safety and Environmental Hygiene Background brief prepared by the Legislative Council Secretariat for the meeting on 10 May 2016 Promotion of green burial Purpose This paper provides background information on green burial services provided by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department ("FEHD") and summarizes major concerns of members of the Panel on Food Safety and Environmental Hygiene ("the Panel") on the subject. Background 2. The Government's columbarium policy is underpinned by a three-pronged strategy which included enhancing the supply of public niches, regulating private columbaria and promoting green burial. According to the Administration, green burials, which include scattering human ashes in Gardens of Remembrance ("GoRs") or at sea and paying tribute to the deceased through the Internet Memorial Service ("IMS") website launched by FEHD, provide a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way for the disposal of ashes. Gardens of Remembrance 3. There are currently 11 GoRs in operation under the management of FEHD. These GoRs are located in the eight public columbaria in Cape Collinson, Diamond Hill, Wo Hop Shek, Fu Shan, Kwai Chung, Cheung Chau, Peng Chau and Lamma Island. Dedicated walls are erected in GoRs for mounting plaques in memory of the deceased. Memorial rituals may be performed before scattering cremains. The public can choose to have the ashes of the deceased scattered by themselves or by FEHD staff. In addition, there are two GoRs, - 2 - one in the Junk Bay Chinese Permanent Cemetery managed by the Board of Management of Chinese Permanent Cemeteries and the other in the Pokfulam Chinese Christian Cemetery managed by the Hong Kong Chinese Christian Churches Union. -

Seven of the Best Places to Go Rock Climbing in Hong Kong, Plus
SCMP.COM Seven of the best places to go rock climbing in Hong Kong, plus preparation tips and why it’s good for your health and fitness PUBLISHED : Saturday, 12 August, 2017, 5:17pm UPDATED : Saturday, 12 August, 2017, 5:17pm Lifestyle › Health & Beauty Kylie Knott [email protected] Hong Kong’s many pristine granite and volcanic cliffs make it a great place to indulge in a sport that provides an intense workout for both body and mind – all while enjoying the great outdoors Big webs usually mean one thing: big spiders. And there are a lot lurking around on this hot and steamy July Saturday, the creatures patiently waiting for lunch in the centre of webs that stretch across our path. “Duck your head – there’s a lot on this part of the path,” says Francis Haden, stopping to peer closely at a web. “They’re called Nephila pilipes [also known as the northern or giant golden orb weaver]. The females are the big black and yellow ones, the males small and brown. They’re not venomous to humans but the females have huge fangs – you’ll know it if you’ve been bitten.” The four best sights in Hong Kong’s below-the-radar geopark and how to visit them [1] Haden knows a lot about nature – he used to be a reptile handler in Australia. But his number one passion is rock climbing and today we are on Tung Lung Chau, also known as Nam Tong, a relatively small island (2.42 square kilometres) off the tip of the Clear Water Bay Peninsula in the New Territories. -
RDFC Paper No. 7/2020 Annex 4
Annex IV Environmental Hygiene Problem in Stanley and Shek O During Holidays Responses by Relevant Government Departments (a) Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) has all along been committed to keeping country parks clean and promoting the protection of countryside to the public. AFCD launched the “Take Your Litter Home” publicity and education programme in 2015 in collaboration with a number of local partner organisations to encourage the public to nurture a good habit of taking away their own waste after hiking or visiting country parks, and all litter containers and recycling bins along the hiking trails within country parks have been removed by the end of 2017. Since the launch of the “Take Your Litter Home” publicity and education programme, it has been effective in enhancing the public awareness towards waste reduction and environmental conservation during their visit to the countryside. Noting that many members of the public visited the country parks recently, AFCD has agilely deployed manpower to step up site inspections and cleansing, and provided litter containers of large volume at specific sites for the use of visitors where necessary. Regarding the situation of Tai Tam Country Park and Shek O Country Park, AFCD has deployed staff and cleansing contractors for carrying out daily cleansing at recreational sites and hiking trails inside the concerned country parks. If serious litter problem is found at individual locations, AFCD also stepped up cleansing effort as appropriate. In addition, AFCD has also strengthened education and publicity efforts through various channels, including displaying banners and posters in country park areas with high visitor flow, urging visitors to maintain environmental hygiene through radio programmes and advertisements at MTR, further promoting “Take Your Litter Home” and good hiking manners, and publicising relevant messages through the networks of non-governmental organisations and partner organisations. -
SDC Paper No. 5/2021 Annex 1
Annex 1 Hong Kong 12 February 2021 Mr. Lo Kin Hei Chairman Southern District Council Re: The Pok Fu Lam Conduit – Heritage status and improvement works Dear Chairman, We hope to raise an agenda item regarding the ‘Pok Fu Lam Conduit’ at the 8th SDC (2020- 2023) meeting scheduled at 2:30pm on 11 March 2021. Background The Pok Fu Lam Conduit was built between the Pokfulam Reservoir and the Albany Tanks during 1876 and 1877. It improved the supply of water to the City of Victoria. In 2004, based on Appraisal 429, Grade 2 Historic status was awarded to the No. 9 aqueduct of the Pok Fu Lam Conduit. Aspects of the conduit between the filter beds at west point (where the staff quarters and manager’s bungalow of the filter beds are now used as the Lung Fu Shan Environmental Education Centre) and the Albany tanks above Garden Road are hard to find. Part of Tank 2 is present at the corner of Caine, Bonham, Seymour and Hospital Road. The conduit was terminated at the filter beds in its early years and with construction of Conduit Road the alignment of that section disappeared from maps early last century. Between the Pok Fu Lam Reservoir and the former filter beds much of the conduit is present, and parts are still used for water supply. Of the 32 aqueducts bridging over ravines and gullies our survey found 16 to be present (8 in the Southern District, 8 in the Central and Western District): 1. Aqueducts No. 1 – 4 have been lost during construction of HKU properties (High West and Alberose). -

In accordance with the criteria as stated in Annexes 10 and 18 of the Technical Memorandum on Environmental Impact Assessment Process (EIAO-TM), the landscape and visual impact assessment (LVIA) for this Project includes: 1. a list of the relevant environmental legislation, standards and guidelines; 2. a definition of the scope and contents of the Study; 3. a review of the relevant planning and development control framework; 4. a landscape impact assessment section, including: - landscape impact assessment methodology; - a landscape baseline study providing a description of the baseline landscape resources (LRs) and landscape character areas (LCAs) within the Study Area; - identification of potential landscape impacts (these are similar to the potential visual impacts and hence all potential landscape and visual impacts are contained within one section); - prediction of the nature of landscape impacts and the potential magnitude of change they will cause as well as the potential significance of impacts before the implementation of mitigation measures; - recommendation of appropriate mitigation measures and associated
