Peak Light Installation Labelled a Nuisance as Legislator Chan Hok-fung Urges Tourism Board to Widen Consultation

Legislator Chan Hok-fung criticised the Tourism Board for insufficient consultation before installing light installations along the Peak Circle Walk, saying the matter should be discussed at the district council and more residents' views considered. The Tourism Board said it issued notices to residents in May and September and briefed district councillors, and that it would refine the details and announce new arrangements in due course. Some residents worry the installations will draw crowds, bringing rubbish, traffic congestion and noise, while others say tying lights to tree trunks affects tree growth.
