The government plans to build a "super funeral city" on the northern border of Shaling, which can be used as a funeral home, crematorium, and columbarium at the same time. However, it has recently aroused dissatisfaction with the establishment and believes that the authorities should reduce the scale or adjust the site selection.

Civic force Li Zijing today (9th) expressed his opposition to the construction of Shaling Funeral City, and put forward different proposals, including the construction of columbarium niches in the 18 districts of Hong Kong, avoiding the concentration of large funeral facilities in a single area, or opening up isolated islands to build large columbarium niches; It is also recommended to set up an electronic automated niche to help make good use of the space.

Civil engineers advocate the construction of electronic niches to replace

Peng Zhensheng, a registered civil engineering and design engineer, explained that traditional niches occupies a lot of land, while electronic niches do not need to reserve a lot of space. Worshipers can use smart systems to move the ashes of their deceased from the storage space of the niches to the worship service. The location, designed like an electronic parking lot, occupies less space and helps to make good use of the land.

The location of the "Super Funeral City" in Shaling is adjacent to the center of Shenzhen. Li Zijing worried that the smell and smoke emitted by burning corpses or incense candles would affect Shenzhen residents. He criticized the government for not considering the feelings of residents in the district when planning. It is believed that the Hong Kong government was restricted by the boundaries of Hong Kong when planning the city and did not consider the overall development of the Greater Bay Area.

Citizens countered the proposal to build a science and technology city on the original site

Li Zijing opposed the setting up of a funeral city in Shaling, and suggested setting up niches and crematoriums and other offensive facilities in various districts.

When asked whether the residents of Shenzhen feel the needs of Hong Kong residents, Li Zijing responded that the residents of the North District also opposed the construction of the Shaling Funeral City. He also described that the current Shaling Cemetery is very different from the funeral city planned to be built by the government. Have a greater impact.

In addition, civic forces countered the suggestion that a science and technology city could be set up at the location of the planned funeral city. A reporter asked that Shaling itself is a cemetery and the location is remote. Even if it is built into a shopping city or a science and technology city, it may not be able to attract citizens and businesses. After entering the station, Li Zijing responded that the location of Shaling is close to the Shenzhen city, and he believes that the Hong Kong government can cooperate with the mainland to jointly develop transportation facilities.
