Finding creative solutions
The story room in Lai Chi Wo Hakka village is among several others in Hong Kong's UNESCO Global Geopark area. In the third and final installment of her series, Faye Bradley describes how the HKSAR government, private sponsors and nongovernmental organizations all play their parts in showcasing the natural charm and distinctive cultures of Hong Kong's outlying islands, and suggests ways in which they can get better at it. The government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region runs a number of programs meant to give the local economy of its outlying islands a boost. The initiative supports traditional festivities that are unique to some of Hong Kong's outlying islands - the Tai O Dragon Boat Water Parade; the Tin Hau Festival, held in Leung Shuen Wan or High Island; the Cheung Chau Bun Festival; the Tin Hau Festival of Po Toi Island; and the Fan Lau Tin Hau Festival in Tai O. Research and publications on the Cheung Chau Bun Festival and the Tai O Dragon Boat Water Parade are also covered by the funding program.
