Revitalisation of Tsui Ping River

• Situated in the centre of Kwun Tong District, coupled with its inherent riverine characteristics, the watercourse is a precious space lending itself very well to being transformed into a riverside environment for public enjoyment.

• We aspire to create a Tsui Ping River that is revitalised environmentally and ecologically, and well connected with the neighbourhood, to serve the dual purposes of not only an upgraded drainage infrastructure, but also a water-friendly public amenity.

5 Key Objectives

Revitalising the River  To provide waterscape, landscape, ecological and water quality enhancement  To provide green riverine corridor 3. Improving Walkability and Connectivity  To provide walkways alongside the river  To provide cross-river walkways and landscaped decks 4. Fostering a Vibrant Riverine Public Space  To make Tsui Ping River a landmark where one can experience the riverine scenery and leisure activities 6 Works Items
