However, he questioned whether it can be financially self-sufficient under the drastic changes in operation and revenue and expenditure patterns. He hopes that Ocean Park will arrive in the district.

Concerned about how to preserve the treasure seafood boat without mentioning

Democratic Party member of Luonan District, Xu Yuanhua, believes that the plan did not elaborate on how to cooperate with the "Dynamic Hong Kong Island South" plan to reduce the latter’s impact on the southern district’s communities, nor did he mention how to preserve the treasured seafood boats, which made him worry that the two collision plans would not only complement each other. On the contrary, it has caused potential conflicts between the community and tourists. For example, the District Council has been worried about the traffic load of the water park on the surrounding area, but today it has not announced supporting measures such as transportation and environment.
