LOOKOUT GARDEN AT TSIM SHA TSUI

Work on a contour garden complete with walks, lookout platforms

and shelters at Signal Hill (Black Head Hill), Tsim Sha Tsui, will begin

in mid-December.

It will be a well landscaped area covering about 2.75 acres

north of the Middle Road Flayground. Because of its altitude, the site

commands a panoramic view of much of the harbour and Hong Kong Island.

As Signal Hill is one of the oldest and best-known signal stations

of the Royal Observatory, the existing typhoon signal mast will remain.

Some of the existing buildings on the site will be converted into

pavilions, stores, offices and toilets, while those in poor condition will

be demolished.

It is expected that when construction is completed in March, the

garden will provide a popular lookout spot for local residents and tourista,
