鯉魚門海旁"改善"計劃
Lei Yue Mun Waterfront "Enhancement" Project

Tourists visiting Lei Yue Mun are exposed to human excrement and restaurant waste flowing through open drains while on their way to a seafood meal. The e-coli content of the seawater and typhoon shelter exceeds the statutory limit for keeping live seafood served to restaurant patrons. Attracting more tourists to Lei Yue Mun without first fixing the sewerage is in conflict with the 'quality' image Hong Kong is pursuing under its tourism strategies.

Background

Revitalizing Lei Yue Mun

The proposals by the Tourism Commission and residents do not address the primary environmental concerns. Drawing tourists to an unhygienic and dilapidated environment is counter-productive as bad experiences are difficult to erase from internet and blog sites. There are also concerns with the design of the proposed projects.

Designing Hong Kong has set out a number of relevant issues that need to be resolved to revitalize Lei Yue Mun as a seafood dining experience for residents and tourists.

Our proposals are based on a review of publicly available information and a visit of Lei Yue Mun with members of the Harbourfront Enhancement Committee and Kwun Tong District Council, and Lei Yue Mun residents and Government officials.

Background

For a visitor, Lei Yue Mun consists of an inner harbour (Sam Ka Tsuen Typhoon Shelter) surrounded by a ferry pier on the south, LCSD sites on the south, west and north, and LeiYue Mun village on the east side. The village consists of narrow paths aligned with shops, restaurants and residential properties, and runs south and then east (Ma San Tsuen) and ends at Lei Yue Mun’s Tin Hau Temple.
