"As many as 12,500 visitors have visited the centre on Sundays. As a result, many visitors have to queue up for almost an hour before they can enter the centre on Sundays. Inside they also have to wait for up to an hour before they can watch the audio-visual show on the ACP projects.
"If visitors want to avoid queuing up and to have more time to view the centre's exhibits, make use of its facilities and view the Tsing Ma Bridge - and to do all these at a leisurely pace, we advise them to visit the centre on weekdays or Saturdays," the spokesman said.
The spokesman also reminded visitors who might drive to the centre that the centre's car park was always full on Sundays.
"Besides queues of visitors, there were also long queues of cars waiting to enter the car park on Sundays. As the car park has limited parking spaces, car owners are advised to use public transport when they visit the centre," the spokesman said.
The exhibition centre has been well received by the public, drawing more than 180,000 visitors since its opening in January this year.
Located on Castle Peak Road where it faces the main span of the Tsing Ma Bridge, the centre provides the latest information on the physical progress of the 10 ACP projects through photographs, models, charts, write-ups and video presentations.
Telescopes have been installed on the rooftop and viewing platform for visitors
to view the Tsing Ma and Kap Shui Mun bridges.
The centre opens from 10 am to 5 pm on weekdays, and from 10 am to 6.30 pm on Saturday, Sunday and public holidays. It closes on Mondays for maintenance
purpose.
NAPCO organises guided tours of the centre for primary and secondary schools, as well as other organisations on weekdays and Saturdays. Enquiries about the tours can be made to NAPCO's Community Relations Division on 2829 6282 or fax 2827 8446.
