The first segment is on Hong Kong's country parks in general. Visitors can view beautiful sceneries of the territory's country parks, which are divided into six major regions according to their location, in the computer programme.
The second segment is about knowledge on country parks and nature conservation. It comprises six major areas: including tree planting, country park history, endangered species, hiking trails, community participation and work of the Country and Marine Parks Authority.
The last and most interesting part is a quiz on topics described in the previous segments.
The whole programme is about 40 minutes long.
Dr Yeung believed the programme would be popular among young people. Operated on a touch method, it is also suitable for young
children.
He said plans were in hand to improve the system by adding more information, including facts about the Wilson Trail and advice on transport to country parks.
Efforts are also being made to turn the programme into a CD-ROM, he added.
The seven visitor centres with the new system are located in country parks in Sai Kung, Aberdeen, Shing Mun, Plover Cove, Clear Water Bay and Tai Mo Shan as well as at the Lions Nature Education Centre in Tsiu Hang, Sai Kung.
