HAS RECENTLY
DEVELOPED
9,000-SQUARE-METRE CAMPING SITE IN THEIR YUEN TUN CAMP AT TSING LUNG TAU, NEW TERRITORIES.
THE CAMP IS 230 METRES ABOVE SEA LEVEL.
THE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT WAS MADE POSSIBLE BY A DONATION OF $1.5 MILLION FROM THE ROYAL HONG KONG JOCKEY CLUB.
THE NEWLY DEVELOPED CAMPING AREA WAS ORIGINALLY A PADDY FIELD. IT WAS WET AND NOT SUITABLE FOR ANY KIND OF ACTIVITIES.
THE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT INCLUDED THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN UNDERGROUND DRAINAGE SYSTEM AND LEVELLING OF THE PADDY FIELDS.
THE WORKS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED AND THE AREA CAN NOW BE USED AS A CAMPING GROUND FOR MORE THAN 250 PEOPLE AT ANY ONE TIME.
THE ROYAL HONG KONG JOCKEY CLUB'S DONATION ALSO SUFFICED ASSOCIATED WORKS SUCH AS A CONCRETE ACCESS ROAD TO THE CAMPING AND A TOILET BLOCK NEARBY.
