The Plover Cover Country Park Visitor Centre will be re-open for public use after being shut down for renovation work.

The renovated centre is now ready to provide services for visitors together with four others centres in country parks in Aberdeen, Tai Mo Shan, Clear Water Bay and Shing Mun as well as the Lions Nature Education Centre, Sai Kung.
The spokesman said a number of facilities and exhibits were installed in visitor centres for educational purpose.
Among the standard facilities are an audio-visual room, a reception area, a nature corner and many colourful photographs concerning the respective country park and its unique features.
All visitor centres are open daily, except Tuesdays, between 9.30 am and 4.30 pm.
No advance booking is required for tours to these centres by individual visitors. But availability for group visits may be confirmed by telephoning AFD's Conservation Education Unit on 2733 2121.
