| Introduction: |
Including the proposed Lantau North (Extension) Country Park, Hong Kong has a total Country Park areas of 43394 ha, of which 10200 ha is covered by the Country Parks on Lantau Island, representing nearly 40% of all Country Parks of Hong Kong. With the increasing role of Lantau as a tourism hub of Hong Kong, Lantau has become an ideal place for promoting the unique and scenic countryside of Hong Kong to the overseas visitors as well as the locals. In view of this and to tie in with the Lantau Concept Plan, the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department has established the Ngong Ping Nature Centre in the Ngong Ping Village to provide visitors with countryside and hiking information, and further promote the nature tourism in Hong Kong. |
