The third of a series of exhibitions on slope maintenance will begin tomorrow (Monday) at the Peninsula Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui East..
The exhibition will last for a week until February 12, and will be open daily between 10 am and 10 pm.
Organised by the Geotechnical Engineering Office (GEO) of the Civil Engineering Department, the exhibition is part of the department's continuing efforts to promote public awareness of the importance of slope maintenance.
The exhibition will feature various aspects of proper slope maintenance by means of colourful illustrations, photographs, charts and graphs.

"The first two exhibitions, held at Hung Hom and Sham Shui Po between December 1995 and January 1996, were well received by members of the public," a GEO spokesman said today (Sunday).
"Over 1,500 copies of the leaflet on slope maintenance and 1,000 copies of the GEO publication 'Layman's Guide to Slope Maintenance' were distributed," he said.
The same exhibition will be staged later in other districts including Tuen Mun and Ap Lei Chau.
