Hong Kong in Brief
Brand Hong Kong’s visual identity — a powerful and energetic dragon — was designed to communicate the city’s historic link with a mythical icon. The image incorporates the Chinese characters for 'Hong Kong' (香港) and the letters 'H' and 'K'. This dual expression symbolises the blend of East and West that characterises Hong Kong. The dragon's fluid shape imparts a sense of movement and speed, communicating that Hong Kong is forever changing. The brandline — ‘Asia's world city’ — highlights Hong Kong's multiple roles as an international business hub, a gateway to economic opportunities in the mainland of China and Asia, and a center for arts and culture.

TFHK/01/2021 on 17 May 2021
Task Force on Harbourfront Developments on Hong Kong Island For discussion TFHK/01/2021 on 17 May 2021 Boardwalk underneath Island Eastern Corridor PURPOSE The purpose of this paper is to brief the Task Force on the latest architectural and landscaping design of the proposed Boardwalk underneath Island Eastern Corridor (IEC) (Boardwalk). The paper will also update the Task Force on the latest progress, works area requirements and proposed management arrangement of the Boardwalk. BACKGROUND 2. The proposed Boardwalk is a major harbourfront enhancement initiative on Hong Kong Island. Successful implementation of the proposed Boardwalk could set a role model for the forth-coming promenade projects, especially those coastal areas which cannot be developed into a promenade due to various reasons. 3. The proposed Boardwalk is approximately 2.2 kilometres (km) long and maintains a width of at least 10 metres (m) wide throughout and comprises a western and eastern section. The western section will run from Oil Street to Tong Shui Road (approximately 0.7 km long), while the eastern section will run from Tin Chiu Street to Hoi Yu Street (approximately 1.1 km long). These two sections will be connected by the North Point Promenade (approximately 0.4 km long). Upon completion, the proposed Boardwalk will connect the existing or planned promenade at Shek Tong Tsui in Western District and Aldrich Bay in Shau Kei Wan, providing a continuous promenade of some 12 km long for public enjoyment. 4. Both the Task Force and the Eastern District Council (EDC) have been closely engaged in the planning of the Boardwalk project over the past few years. -
