HKA: visit to CV/2022/03 - reconstruction of Sam Mun Tsai Village Pier and Sham Chung Pier

Overview

Many attractions such as marine parks, old temples, eco-tourism sites are located at remote rural areas without land access and rely on marine transport. In recent years, number of visitors attracted to these remote destinations has been constantly increasing. Hence, public piers play an important role in accessing these remote destinations.
