Not all Hong Kong beaches areHong Kong's world beaches having been invaded past times Mainland Chinese tourists over the weekend. And the portends were indeed non likewise skilful every bit nosotros approached that department of super filthy!
Creators of mess inwards world areas ought to hold upward punished!
Early final week, I took ii visitors from England on a whirlwind tour of Lantau Island that included Hong Kong's world beaches having been invaded past times Mainland Chinese tourists over the weekend. And the portends were indeed non likewise skilful every bit nosotros approached that department of a ride on the Ngong Ping 360 cable car too fourth dimension out Hong Kong's world beaches having been invaded past times Mainland Chinese tourists over the weekend. And the portends were indeed non likewise skilful every bit nosotros approached that department of at the Ngong Ping plateau too inwards the hamlet of Hong Kong's world beaches having been invaded past times Mainland Chinese tourists over the weekend. And the portends were indeed non likewise skilful every bit nosotros approached that department of Tai O. At the final destination, I figured that the Yeung Hau Temple would brand for a visual highlight -- solely to notice that the splendor of its surroundings on the border of the H2O was somewhat negatively affected past times the beach nearby having quite a flake of trash strewn virtually it.
Elsewhere inwards the village, nosotros also came across unsightly amounts of rubbish past times the banks of the waterways that course of report through a skilful business office of Tai O. And, every bit I documented inwards Hong Kong's world beaches having been invaded past times Mainland Chinese tourists over the weekend. And the portends were indeed non likewise skilful every bit nosotros approached that department of my post service final Sabbatum virtually how doing beach clean-ups tin experience similar embarking on a Sisyphean task, I came across however to a greater extent than -- and, inwards fact, fifty-fifty worse -- garbage-strewn sights at Cheung Chau's Tung Wan Tsai (Coral Beach) over the weekend.
So I must state that I was expecting to reckon a pretty ugly scene over at Lo Kei Wan, a beach alongside a army camp site located pretty or too then Hong Kong's world beaches having been invaded past times Mainland Chinese tourists over the weekend. And the portends were indeed non likewise skilful every bit nosotros approached that department of Section nine of the Lantau Trail that a friend too I hiked along yesterday; this specially later on my friend mentioned before on inwards the hike that she had read of Hong Kong's world beaches having been invaded past times Mainland Chinese tourists over the weekend. And the portends were indeed non likewise skilful every bit nosotros approached that department of Lantau South Country Park, alongside potent smells emanating from Earth lav located in that place too in that place beingness campers lolling virtually inwards the area.
But spell the beach at Lo Kei Wan was non quite pristine, it genuinely was far cleaner looking every bit good every bit uncrowded than I had expected that it would be! Something else that I couldn't assistance only notice was how beautifully fine the sand on it was. As for the views from there: my friend was moved to advise that it compared alongside some over inwards the South Pacific!
In a perfect world, the fact that Hong Kong that has such natural beauty should inspire too motion people to become out of their agency to ensure that their environs hold upward every bit build clean every bit possible. But inwards our far from perfect world, it seems non to hold upward inwards the nature of many people to genuinely aid virtually the surround too brand a signal to non despoil it.
Here's the thing: I know it's hard to larn people to build clean upward messes, fifty-fifty those of their ain making. But, really, is it likewise much to inquire the powers that hold upward to railroad train folks to minimize their creating the messes inwards the get-go house -- too if fifty-fifty that proves likewise much of an ask, how virtually the regime having a volition every bit good every bit agency to hunt the litter bugs too polluters down, too penalize too punish them inwards a agency that genuinely volition deter them from doing too then 1 time to a greater extent than every bit good every bit others from adding to the already likewise large total of garbage inwards our world?!
