The new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic in Hong Kong continues. Under the two-person "restriction order" and the ban on food from 6 pm, it is difficult for the public to go out with big class friends. Many people choose to go to the suburbs to play.

Today (2nd) in Donglong Island, a camping hotspot, more than 50 tents were seen covering the hills in the morning. There were more than two people in some camps, suspected of violating the gathering restriction order; the trash can next to it was "stuffed up" with rubbish. All the ground.

In addition, the camp under the jurisdiction of the Fisheries and Conservation Department on Donglong Island has been closed due to the epidemic, but at least 15 tents are still seen.

Some campers think that the number of people is smaller than expected. Even if big class friends camp together, they will sleep in separate tents; they will keep their distance when eating and talking.

Under the epidemic situation, Hong Kong people have been unable to travel abroad for nearly a year. Many campers also laughed and said that "you should go for a trip," and some even said that "you should live with a paper kite as a plane."

Stepping into the new year, many citizens chose to go out in the countryside on the first weekend.

At the pier of Sanjia Village in Lei Yue Mun this morning, long queues have been seen to take a boat to Donglong Island. There are also many small families and groups of citizens hiking and camping on the island.

On the grass near the sea, about 50 tents have been seen in the past noon. Many campers are playing and cooking. Most of them take off their masks. Many of them are two or more people, suspected of violating the gathering restriction order. .

In addition, the two large garbage bins next to the grass were "popped" with soft pads in them. Garbage also spilled onto the ground nearby, including many food packaging and paper towels.

The two large trash bins beside the grass were "suffocated", with cushions in them, and rubbish overflowed the ground nearby.

About 10 minutes away from the grassland is the AFCD’s camp. However, the closure of the camp has been temporarily suspended due to the epidemic. The authorities have enclosed the camp with tapes and posted notices reminding them to be prosecuted if they enter the enclosed area.

However, what we can see today is that the tape has been removed and scattered all over the place; there were at least 15 tents in the originally enclosed area, and many people were cooking, but there were no government officials to enforce the law.

Mr. Lin emphasized that a large group of friends would separate two people into a tent and sleep; they would also be separated when eating and chatting, and keep a sufficient distance. I believe they will not violate the gathering restriction order.

Mr. Lin went to camp on Donglong Island with about five friends. He said that it was the first time he came to camp. Due to the large number of people, he would wear masks for a long time. He even said with a smile that he "wore it all when I felt like it."

However, he believes that the urban areas such as Mong Kok "have overwhelmed the flower market and are at least open and well-ventilated", so they are not too worried about the risk of infection.

When asked whether he violated the gathering restriction order, he emphasized that a large group of friends should separate two people and sleep under one tent; they would also be separated when eating and chatting, and kept a sufficient distance. "He will observe that two people and two people sit down. Scheming".

His friend, Ms. Zhuang, said that she was stuck at home for a long time because of fear of the epidemic, so she deliberately went to the suburbs to "breath the fresh air" with her big class friends during the holidays: "When I travel, I can't go out of home."

Mr. Lin next to him also said with a smile, "Looking at a paper kite when flying on a plane."

Mr. Zhuang, who has been camping on Donglong Island for more than 20 days, said that the number of people camping during the holidays is not too large, and at least half the number of people camped during the holidays. "He estimated that the reason might be the recent cold weather and the increased gathering order.

Last year, due to the epidemic, there were more people camping on weekdays than in the past.

When asked why he was camping for a long time, he said with a smile, "Retired people are so, don't buy the house or business." And because the grassland is very empty, he is not worried about the risk of infection.

Ms. Chen took her puppy and two other friends to camp on Donglong Island. She believed that the number of people was not as large as she had imagined, and "thought it would be dense." The number of tents on the hill was similar to that before the epidemic.

Regarding whether she would be worried about violating the gathering restriction order, she said that the three separated the two tents, so they also followed the rules.

Ms. Chen also said that even during camping, epidemic prevention measures will be taken. "Wash your hands and wear good masks when you travel."

Mr. Luo said with a smile to go camping on Donglong Island, "I should go on a trip last year, but the date will be changed this year. I hope I can really go on a trip in the second half of the year."

Citizen Mr. Luo went to camp on Donglong Island with a family of three yesterday (1st) and was leaving at noon today.

He pointed out that there were not too many people camping last night, and the number of tents was about one-fifth less than today. "We are ready to leave with more than one person. Don't worry too much."

He also said that it was the first time to go to Donglong Island, and he has always liked camping, but in recent years, due to the lack of time, he can only go camping with his family in the suburbs until recent consecutive holidays. "When I went on a trip, I originally went last year. The date is changed this year, and I hope that in the second half of the year, I can really travel."
