Cameron Dueck Explored Beyond the Beaten Track
a tale of two cities CAMERON DUECK EXPLORED BEYOND THE BEATEN TRACK AROUND THE WATERS OF HIS HOMETOWN, HONG KONG Baona/Getty The old and the new: a traditional junk crosses the glassy waters of Hong Kong Harbour 52 53 ‘Hong Kong is so much more than just a glittering metropolis’ We had just dropped the anchor in a small bay, and I was standing on the deck of our Hallberg-Rassy, surveying the turquoise water and shore that rose steep and green around us. At one end of the bay stood a ramshackle cluster of old British military buildings and an abandoned pearl farm, now covered in vines that were reclaiming the land, while through the mouth of the bay I could see a few high- prowed fishing boats working the South China Sea. I felt drunk with the thrill of new discovery, even though we were in our home waters. I was surprised that I’d never seen this gem of a spot before, and it made me wonder what else I’d find. Hong Kong has been my home for nearly 15 years, during which I’ve hiked from its lush valleys to the tops of its mountain peaks and paddled miles of its rocky shoreline in a sea kayak. I pride myself in having seen Lui/EyeEm/Getty Siu Kwan many of the far-flung corners of this territory. The little-known beauty of Hong Kong’s Sai Kung district I’ve also been an active weekend sailor, crewing on racing yachts and sailing out of every local club.

Tanka Transitions: Shrimp Paste, Dolphins and the Contemporary
HAYWARD—TANKA TRANSITIONS TANKA TRANSITIONS Shrimp Paste, Dolphins and the Contemporary Aquapelagic Assemblage of Tai O Philip Hayward Southern Cross University and University of Technology Sydney Abstract Tai O, located off the northwest coast of Hong Kong’s Lantau Island, has a distinct socio-economic and cultural character premised on its position at the centre of an aquapelagic assemblage within the broader Pearl River Delta area. The area is well known as a centre for cultural heritage tourism within which culinary heritage, and particularly shrimp paste production, is a key element. Recent developments in Hong Kong fisheries policy have curtailed shrimp fishing around the island and required its shrimp paste operation to realign its production and manufacturing operations. In tandem with these changes, the island has recently developed as a centre for dolphin-watching tourism. The article examines the nature of Tai O’s contemporary use of marine resources, the nature of community adjustments to external circumstances and the likely longevity of its livelihood activities and distinct culinary products. Keywords Tai O, Tanka, food heritage, aquapelagic assemblage, fisheries Locale: The Australasian-Pacific Journal of Regional Food Studies Number 6, 2016 —1— HAYWARD—TANKA TRANSITIONS Introduction This article is relatively unusual within the field of Food Studies by virtue of combining a food topic (in this case, shrimp paste production) and a non-culinary one (namely, dolphin watching). While markedly different in nature, these two activities are aligned aspects of what Island Studies discourse has characterised as the aquapelagic assemblage of marine and terrestrial components that results from human livelihood activities across these spheres (see Hayward, 2012; Suwa, 2012).

Focus on the Sustainable Development of Lantau ( Analysis Document )
CB(1)365/05-06(03) FOCUS ON THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF LANTAU ( ANALYSIS DOCUMENT ) SUSTAIN LANTAU SUSTAIN HONG KONG FUTURE COMMUNITIES, ENVIRONMENT AND ECONOMY COMMUNITIES:- The growing population and its ever varying cultural aspect The island’s population stands at about 80,00, which spread across 4 community areas: 1. Tai O - the oldest traditional fishing village left in Hong Kong. The roots of its culture stem from its long-term affiliation with the fishing industry. The area remains as an independent economy to protect and provide the local community. 2. South Lantau - the under developed sea front shoreline living islander with remnants of minimum farming and fishing culture. Most of the residents live on new tourism opportunities provided by the beautiful and spacious nature of the environment. The economy is supported through the rental of holiday houses, private property businesses and F& B services. 3. Discovery Bay – semi-urban middle class western culture residential, development relies on the developers investments of Hong Kong Resource Co. Ltd . Environment and cultural concern is not yet as high as expected since the actual community has only been in existence for about twenty years. 4. Tung Chung is a new urban development area, people transferred from different communities area of Hong Kong. Of the population, 3/4 of the population originates from grass-root labour force of Hong Kong and ¼ are from the tertiary sector and property owners. The island population consisted of mainly Chinese and experienced steady growth until 1996, when the commencing of the airport project brought in hundred of foreign temporary residents, prompting many to decide to stay in the region and settle.

Annotated Checklist of Hongkong Lichens
57 Tropical Bryology 17: 57-101, 1999 Annotated checklist of Hongkong Lichens André Aptroot Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures, P.O. Box 273, NL-3740 AG Baarn, The Netherlands Mark R.D. Seaward Department of Environmental Science, University of Bradford, Bradford, West Yorkshire BD7 1DP, United Kingdom Abstract. An annotated checklist of the lichens of Hong Kong, based on all available literature reports and specimens, including those recently collected by the authors, is presented. In total, 261 species are reported, of which 176 are new records for Hong Kong, 132 of which are new for China, 43 are new for East Asia, and 27 are new for Asia. The lichen vegetation is mainly tropical, as is shown by the distribution patterns of the identified species: 53 species are cosmopolitan, 40 northern temperate, 122 pantropical, 17 paleotropical and 29 endemic to tropical East Asia. With regard to substrata, 129 species are corticolous, 148 saxicolous, 17 foliicolous and 19 terricolous. Four species are newly described: Anisomeridium conorostratum Aptroot, A. hydei Aptroot, Caloplaca pulicarioides Aptroot and Placidiopsis poronioides Aptroot. The flora is rather poor in species; for example, no Caliciales have been found. In the past, the numbers of species of several groups such as the Graphidaceae, Heterodermia and Xanthoparmelia have been overestimated, whereas few pyrenocarps have been reported. The flora of wet granitic outcrops is surprisingly well developed in Hong Kong. Although not a single Peltula species was reported before, six species were identified, including one that was previously only known from Africa. In addition, several other cyanophilic genera are present, such as Euopsis, Psorotichia, Pyrenopsis and, most unexpectedly, Vestergrenopsis, each with one species.

Tai O Is a Remembrance of the Past and a Vision of the Future
TAITAI-O O |/ A MODERN VILLAGE Tejido Group / University of Arizona / Capla / 2013 INTRODUCTION In the summer of 2013, the Tejido Group from the University of Arizona / CAPLA assembled a group of volunteer stu- dents from both Schools of Architecture and Landscape Architecture to develop a revitalization master plan for one of the last remaining ishing villages in the Hong Kong territories – TAI-O on Lantau Island. The project illustrated a collaborative and interdisciplinary effort among our faculty and students from the University of Arizona. Our design team was graciously hosted by the Chinese University of Hong Kong throughout the four week duration of the project. CUHK faculty and students assist- ed us greatly in adapting to, and in better understanding the many complex social, economic and environmental issues confronting us in this fascinating project. With strong support from CUHK and their School of Architecture, the students, professors, and all others involved experienced unique design challenges resulting in experiences which fostered both academic and personal growth. This revital- ization project of TAI-O has evolved into an attempt to de- velop a multipronged approach to the revitalization and conservation of the wonderfully complex social and envi- ronmental context which is TAI-O. We sincerely hope that this “sustainable rural development prototype” may as- sist TAI-O in revitalizing a threatened, yet truly unique and relevant lifestyle. With very special thanks to CUHK and our gracious host Patrick Hwang we offer the following as a brief summary of the design and planning outcomes resulting from this summer’s odyssey in Hong Kong.

History of the Salt Industry and Tai O
Agreement No. CE 41/98 EIA - Final Assessment Report Tai O Sheltered Boat Anchorage – Environmental Impact Assessment May 2000 Civil Engineering Department 8. CULTURAL HERITAGE 8.1 Introduction Tai O is recognised as being historically associated with salt production, one of the earliest “industrial” activities recorded in Hong Kong. The most evident features of these early activities in the Study Area are the man-made bunds, which define the salt fields in which the proposed mangrove planting habitat is to be created. This chapter describes the history of salt production in Hong Kong and in Tai O and presents an evaluation of the cultural heritage of the Study Area. Thereafter, the potential impacts of the proposed sheltered boat anchorage construction and operation is presented, and mitigation measures proposed. 8.2 Legislation and Applicable Standards 8.2.1 Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance The EIA Ordinance stipulates that consideration must be given to issues associated with cultural heritage and archaeology as part of the EIA process. Annexes 10 and 19 of the EIA TM outline criteria for evaluating the impacts on sites of cultural heritage and guidelines for impact assessment, respectively. The EIA TM identifies a general presumption in favour of the protection and conservation of all sites of cultural heritage and requires impacts upon sites of cultural heritage to be ‘kept to the absolute minimum’. There is no quantitative standard for determining the relative importance of sites of cultural heritage, but in general sites of unique, archaeological, historical or architectural value should be considered as highly significant. 8.2.2 Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance The principal legislation relevant to cultural heritage and archaeological issues is the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance (Cap 53).
