In order to promote green tourism, we are working with the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) to enhance the tourism supporting facilities of
some hiking trails within country parks which are popular and with tourism appeal.
The enhancement works include improvement to existing hiking trail network, control of soil erosion at the trails,
enhancement of vegetation coverage, addition of water dispensers and lookout points, and enrichment of visitor information boards, etc.
