HK Wetland Park

wetland park arcticHong Kong Wetland Park is a curious place - huge money spent, yet habitats small and visitor centre immense, with lots of computer gimmickry and suchlike.

Wetland Park the env equivalent of Cyberport?

Just been sent a copy of The Cut, an emailed mag on tourism ("uncensored"). Under activities, it says:

Quote:
Skip It - My flat has more wildlife than the new Wetlands Park, it's the environmental equivalent of Cyberport. Ominously void of living creatures, it sits near the border with China, the air is filthy and the water is most likely polluted from nearby factory run off.

Hong Kong Style Eco-tourism

Today's South China Morning Post has an article on coral tour boats at Hoi Ha - prompting comment from me about Hong Kong "eco-tours".

A reporter went out on a so-called "eco-tour" - which proved to be a 10-minute coral-viewing trip, with "no introduction or explanation of what we saw." This hardly seems atypical in Hong Kong - where "eco-tourism" has become a highly misused buzz word, sometimes having about as much to do with real eco-tourism as my piano playing has to do with classical music. (I can't even play Chopsticks.)
