TRAFFIC ARRANGEMENTS FOR CHE KUNG FESTIVAL
****
UP TO 100 COD WORSHIPPERS ARE EXPECTED TO VISIT CHE KUNG TEMPLE IN SHA TIN DURING THE LUNAR NEW YEAR HOLIDAYS AND A STRONG APPEAL HAS BEEN MADE TO THEM TO AVOID GOING THERE BY CAR IF POSSIBLE.
THE ASSISTANT DISTRICT OFFICER SHA TIN, MR ANDREW WELLS, SAID TODAY (THURSDAY) THAT AT LEAST HALF OF THE WORSHIPPERS WERE EXPECTED TO VISIT THE TEMPLE ON THE THIRD DAY OF THE LUNAR NEW YEAR HOLIDAY WHEN THE CHE KUNG FESTIVAL REACHES ITS PEAK.
+SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE BY GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS TO HELP COPE WITH THIS LARGE NUMBER, MR WELLS SAID.
+A ONE-WAY CIRCULATION SYSTEM WILL BE PROVIDED FOR PEDESTRIANS WHO WILL BE DIRECTED TO USE THE ACCESS TRACK FROM THE LION ROCK TUNNEL ROAD EAST OF THE SHING MUN RIVER TO ENTER THE TEMPLE.+
PEDESTRIANS WOULD BE ASKED TO LEAVE THE TEMPLE BY USING THE FOOTBRIDGE LEADING TO THE MAIN ROAD ALONG THE SHING MUN RIVER.
THEY ARE ALSO REQUESTED TO USE THE SUBWAY WHEN CROSSING LION ROCK TUNNEL ROAD IN VIEW OF THE EXPECTED HEAVY TRAFFIC.
MR WELLS STRONGLY URGED WORSHIPPERS TO USE PUBLIC TRANSPORT, AS PARKING FACILITIES WOULD BE VERY LIMITED DUE TO EXTENSIVE CONSTRUCTION WORK GOING ON IN THE AREA.
+PRIVATE CARS WILL FIND IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A PLACE TO PARK ANYWHERE IN THE VICINITY, HE SAID.
ONLY FRANCHISED BUSES WOULD BE ALLOWED TO STOP ON LION ROCK TUNNEL ROAD.
