Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park

Sun Yat-sen Memorial Park is a waterfront park in the Sai Ying Pun area of Hong Kong Island, facing Victoria Harbour. The park is named after Sun Yat-sen, and is the only one in Hong Kong named for a Chinese historic figure. History Residents of Western had long lamented the limited recreation and leisure options in the district. Two recreation projects on the Western reclamation near Sai Ying Pun were approved in the Urban Council Capital Works Programme 1986/87–1990/91: an indoor games hall (now the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park Sports Centre) and the original Western Park. Only part of the site was originally released to the Urban Council since most of the land was required for the construction of the Western Harbour Crossing in the 1990s. Western Park, comprising two hectares, opened in 1991. Construction of the Western Park Sports Centre commenced in May 1992, and the facility opened on 22 May 1995. It was renamed Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park Sports Centre on 1 June 2011. In 1999, the Provisional Urban Council approved the redevelopment of the park into a memorial park for Sun Yat-sen. This opened in 2003, but only as a temporary park and still only occupying part of the waterfront reclamation. The rest of the waterfront lands lay idle and fenced off, under the management of the Lands Department, following completion of the Western Harbour Crossing. The park was criticised for failing to live up to its name, containing little more than a plaque quoting Dr. Sun. Expansion of the park was planned, but delayed due to budgetary constraints. The expansion and redevelopment of the park was among 25 priority projects identified in the 2005 policy address. The park closed on 28 March 2008 for reconstruction. Phase one of the reconstructed park opened to the public on 26 June 2010. The Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park Swimming Pool, which offers a 50-metre pool and a smaller teaching pool, opened on 30 November 2011.

Parc commémoratif Sun Yat-sen

Le parc commémoratif Sun Yat-sen (en chinois : 中山紀念公園, Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park) est un parc public situé dans le quartier de Sai Ying Pun (zh) sur l'île de Hong Kong en face de Victoria Harbour. Il honore la figure historique de Sun Yat-sen et est le seul parc de Hong Kong à porter son nom. Histoire Des résidents du quartier de Sai Wan (en) déploraient depuis longtemps les possibilités limitées de loisirs et de divertissement dans le secteur. Deux projets de loisirs sur des terre-pleins près de Sai Ying Pun sont alors approuvés par le conseil urbain en 1986/87 : une salle de jeux intérieure (actuel centre sportif du parc commémoratif Sun Yat-sen) et le parc original nommé initial « parc de Western ». Seule une partie du site est initialement cédée au conseil urbain car la plupart des terrains étaient nécessaires à la construction du Western Harbour Crossing dans les années 1990. Le parc de Western, de deux hectares, ouvre ses portes en 1991. La construction du centre sportif du parc de Western commence en mai 1992 et les installations sont ouvertes le 22 mai 1995. Il est rebaptisé « centre sportif du parc commémoratif Sun Yat-sen » le 1er juin 2011. En 1999, le conseil urbain provisoire approuve le réaménagement de l'espace vert en parc commémoratif pour Sun Yat-sen. Cela est effectué en 2003, mais seulement en tant que parc temporaire et il n'occupe toujours qu'une partie des terre-pleins du front de mer. Le reste des terrains riverains est inutilisé et clôturé, sous la gestion du département des terrains (en), après l'achèvement du Western Harbour Crossing. Le parc est critiqué pour ne pas être à la hauteur de son nom, contenant à peine plus qu'une plaque citant le Dr Sun. L'expansion du parc est prévue, mais retardée en raison de contraintes budgétaires. L'agrandissement et le réaménagement du parc figurent parmi les 25 projets prioritaires identifiés dans l'allocution politique de 2005. Le parc est fermé le 28 mars 2008 pour reconstruction. La première phase du parc reconstruit ouvre au public le 26 juin 2010. Les piscines du parc commémoratif Sun Yat Sen, qui comprennent une piscine de 50 mètres et une plus petite piscine d'apprentissage, ouvrent le 30 novembre 2011.

Sunshine Island, Hong Kong

Sunshine Island (Chinese: 日光島), also known as Chau Kung To (周公島) indigenously, is a companion island of Hei Ling Chau in Hong Kong. Located northeast of Hei Ling Chau and south of Peng Chau, the island was once the site of a drug addiction treatment centre. The island features scenic rocks and some abandoned buildings. It has only one inhabitant, a 78-year-old named Lam Chi-ngai, and there is no public transport to the island. History Friend (Quaker) Gus Borgeest, born in Ningbo in 1909, gave the island its English name and founded an audacious and successful resettlement and rehabilitation centre for Chinese refugees on Sunshine island in 1952. At the time opium addiction was endemic among many Chinese and the model farming community founded by Borgeest provided many mainland refugees and addicts in Hong Kong with a second chance. Borgeest's method was to provide land, housing, tools, seeds, training and assistance to refugees and give them the opportunity to each start a small farm on the island. The opportunity provided by Borgeest's project helped many refugee families re-establish themselves after the trauma of fleeing to Hong Kong. On a May 1956 visit to Sunshine Island one of the resettled refugees expressed the success of the project to then Hong Kong Governor Sir Alexander Grantham: "Sir, owning one's own land, managing one's own affairs, does something to a man. Such cannot be achieved, or even understood, by those who are content to let the government fill their rice bowls for them." For this work, Borgeest was awarded the 1961 Ramon Magsaysay Prize, also known colloquially as "Asia's Nobel Prize". The work of the Sunshine Island community was supported by The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in Hong Kong. Sunshine Island formed the basis of later drug rehabilitation settlements still existing in Hong Kong. Fauna After the construction of Hong Kong Disneyland, white-bellied sea eagles moved from their habitat in Pa Tau Kwu (扒頭鼓) of Lantau Island to Sunshine Island. There is also an endemic species, the Bogadek's legless lizard (Dibamus bogadeki) living on the island.

Tai Po Kau Nature Reserve

The Tai Po Kau Nature Reserve, also called Tai Po Kau Special Area, is a nature reserve in the Tai Po area of the New Territories in northern Hong Kong. The area comprises a dense, hilly woodland with over 100 species of trees and numerous streams and rivers. It is one of the most biologically diverse forests in Hong Kong. It is noted by the Hong Kong Bird Watching Society and others as one of the best locations for seeing forest birds in Hong Kong. Background Around a hundred years ago, the area was barren and deforested. A tree plantation aimed at afforestation was started by the government in 1926, initially consisting of mainly pine. Later on, Taiwan acacia, paperbark, camphor and Brisbane box were also planted. As decades passed, native trees like sweet gum and litsea cubeba started to succeed the planted stock and today a large diversity of both native and nonnative trees grow on the hillsides here. The area was designated as a nature reserve in 1977. South China tigers were reported in the area by villagers into the early 20th century. Flora and Fauna 160 bird species, 102 butterfly species, and over 50 dragonfly species inhabit the reserve, along with numerous mammals and herpetofauna. The area is noted for its diversity of reptiles, specifically snakes. Common birds include crested bulbul, chestnut-winged cuckoo, collared scops owl, black drongo and spotted dove. Rare mammals like Chinese pangolin and masked palm civet can be found in the reserve. The exceptional biodiversity in Tai Po Kau is due to the maturity of the forest. It is the most expansive mature subtropical secondary forest in Hong Kong at 460 hectares.
