Last update date: 2020-04-27 17:23Affected by the epidemic, many citizens went to the country park to remove the hood to breathe the fresh air, and the crowds on the mountain during the holiday were like a busy city. A Legislative Council member expressed concern at the Panel on Environmental Affairs today (27th) that the AFCD is preparing to introduce a venue reservation system for popular camping sites and enhance camp services, and is worried about speculation. The Director of AFCD Leung Zhao-hui replied that the initial idea was to reserve camps on a real-name basis. Only after verification of their identity would “admission” be allowed. Hong Kong people and foreigners could each book half of the camps, and they would consider reserving more camps for Hong Kong people use.

The AFCD is preparing to introduce a pilot system for the reservation system at the Tsuen Kam camp. A computer system will be set up at the camp to facilitate campers to book camps and facilities, and to set a limit on the number of camps that can be booked by overseas visitors. It is expected to be launched within this year.
Set up an office in the camp to assist in registration such as "check in"
Liu Yeqiang, a member of the Legislative Council of the Pakatan Harapan Council, asked the Environmental Affairs Committee how to avoid speculation on camps and the issue of the distribution of Hong Kong people and tourists. Liang Zhaohui said that the initial idea is to use a real-name system, Hong Kong people use ID cards to register, while overseas people use travel documents. The camp will have an office and on-site staff to assist in registration, just like hotel check-in, confirming that it is the registration that you can enter to strengthen management. In terms of distribution, he said that Hong Kong people and overseas people each occupy half of the quota, and even reserve more camps for Hong Kong people to use.

In addition, many MPs are concerned about the fire in recent months. Liang Zhaohui said that in the early years, there were hundreds of wildfires in country parks each year, and in recent years it has been reduced to 20 to 30. The fires will be reduced through various measures, such as through the fire watchtower and duty personnel supervision, and the Commissioner will be sent to guard during the Qingming Chongyang It also requires the cooperation of villagers and grave sweepers, and believes that the chance of wildfires can be effectively reduced. He revealed that he recently tried to detect the situation of mountain fires by means of science and technology.
During the epidemic, Hong Kong people went to the mountains to breathe. In addition to paying attention to the problem of garbage on the mountains, Members also had problems with toilets and drinking fountains in country parks. Assistant Director of Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation (Country Park and Marine Park) Li Cunzhi said that toilet facilities and cleaning frequency will be strengthened, and explained that the current toilets in country parks are mainly divided into water toilets and dry toilets. Only hard-to-reach sections will be used. He continued to point out that some locations have been improved in recent years. For example, Longji has switched to mobile toilets with solar energy and ventilation systems, and the East Dam of Wanyi Reservoir has also been converted to containerized toilets, which has a larger space for citizens to have a better experience. Liang Zhaohui added that he is studying how dry toilets can reduce odors and collect waste better without using water and electricity.
As for the installation of drinking fountains, Li Cunzhi explained that not all flush toilets have running water supply, and some of them need to use mountain water; similarly, when planning to install drinking fountains, you need to consider hydropower and drinking water pipes. If the mountain is high, add water pipes It is difficult, but 15 water dispensers have been installed in country parks during the year. We will discuss with the Water Supplies Department to install them in suitable places, especially on major hiking trails.
