?
THE SHOW IS OPEN DAILY FROM 10 AM TO 6 PM UNTIL TUESDAY (MARCH 15). ADMISSION IS FREE.
TALKS ON HORTICULTURE HAVE ALSO BEEN ARRANGED FOR THIS (SATURDAY) AFTERNOON AND TOMORROW AT THE SHOW GROUND.
ACCORDING TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE FLOWER SHOW PREPARATORY COMMITTEE, MR LIU CHING-LEUNG, THE SPECTACULAR ANNUAL EVENT REGULARLY ATTRACTS LARGE CROWDS.
+THE FLOWER SHOW IS MAKING PROGRESS IN BOTH SCALE AND VARIETY OF EXHIBITS EVERY YEAR, HE SAID.
+ON THE OTHER HAND, THE PROMINENT INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF VISITORS, INCLUDING TOURISTS FROM ABROAD, REFLECTS THE GROWING POPULARITY OF THE SHOW.
+ IT IS HOPED THAT THIS ANNUAL ACTIVITY WILL NOT ONLY BEAUTIFY OUR LIVING ENVIRONMENT BUT ALSO HELP DEVELOP THE HONG KONG TOURIST INDUSTRY.
+LIVING IN A HIGHLY COMMERCIALISED AND INDUSTRIALISED CITY LIKE HONG KONG, ONE MAY FIND IT DIFFICULT TO KEEP A BALANCE BETWEEN ONE'S MATERIAL LIFE AND SPIRITUAL LIFE.
+THE MOTIVE OF THE SHOW ORGANISERS IS THEREFORE TO INSTILL IN THE VISITORS AN ADMIRATION FOR FLOWERS AND, SUBSEQUENTLY, AN INTEREST IN FLOWER CULTIVATION, WHICH INDEED HELPS TO ENRICH ONE'S SPIRITUAL LIFE.+
THE COMMITTEE HAS ALSO INVITED FLOWER ENTHUSIASTS FROM SEVERAL ASIAN COUNTRIES TO VISIT THE SHOW. RECEPTIONISTS SPEAK ING ENGLISH, JAPANESE, MANDARIN AND CANTONESE WILL BE ON HAND TO ANSWER ANY ENQUIRIES,
LADY YOUDE AND MRS JANE AKERS-JONES. WIFE OF THE SECRETARY FOR DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION, PRESENTED PRIZES TO WINNERS OF THE FLOWER CONTEST.
