A 800-METRE HILL TRAIL FROM CHING HONG ROAD TO TSING STREET ON TSING YI ISLAND HAS BEEN COMPLETED RECENTLY AND IS NOW OPEN TO RESIDENTS FOR OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES.
THE TRAIL, WHICH IS NOT VERY STEEP, IS SUITABLE FOR TAKING MORNING WALKS OR HOLDING PICNICS. A WALK THROUGH THE TRAIL ABOUT ONLY 30 MINUTES.
TAKES
THE HILL TRAIL WAS BUILT IN TWO PHASES, THE FIRST CONSTRUCTED BY THE GOVERNMENT IN 1982 AS A PASSAGE WAY AT A COST OF $122,000.
LAST YEAR, THE KWAI TSING DISTRICT BOARD DECIDED TO EXTEND THE HILL TRAIL AREA AND ALLOCATED $133,000 OUT OF THE DISTRICT BOARD'S MINOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT FUND FOR THE WORKS. WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THE WORKS SECTION OF THE KWAI TSING DISTRICT OFFICE, THE HILL TRAIL WAS COMPLETED EARLY THIS MONTH.
