It included plastic bottles, beer cans, food plastic boxes and other trash on that day. There was also a row of trash cans next to it. It was full, and she sighed, "I went to Donglong Island for the first time yesterday. This is my impression of Donglong Island. A sleeping bag is also rubbish. Is it really that difficult to take away my rubbish? Weekend is terrifying?" Netizens commented that visitors were selfish and unethical. Some people described them as "I feel ashamed as a Hong Konger", "outrageous and destroying nature", and "the dark side of human nature."

In addition, netizen YUKIE LEUNG also uploaded a video taken on Donglong Island to the Facebook photography group yesterday. The footage was overcrowded. The entire hill was full of large and small camping tents. She described “In fact, if you want to get close to the cliff, you have to take a photo on the left... Zhong wants to live underground... if you don’t want to click on the ropes," she also said that the scene was cleaner than expected and called on everyone to continue to love Hong Kong.

After watching the video, some netizens left a message teasing "I don't know that it is a refugee camp." Some people worry that gatherings of people will increase the risk of spreading the virus. The message refers to "The birth of the Donglong Island camping group."
