More than a thousand people gathered at Queen Elizabeth Stadium for the second 'Ramsar Dance With The Birds and Model Making Competition'.

The event was organised by the Conservancy Association in collaboration with the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department, Hong Kong Jockey Club and Shell Hong Kong.

It aimed to educate local teenagers about the importance of preserving Hong Kong's wetlands and to raise their awareness of environmental protection.

The event was the highlight of the association's long-term campaign to protect the natural habitat of Hau Hoi Wan (Deep Bay), Hong Kong's largest area of wetlands.

The competition was divided into four parts.

In the first part, a total of 60 teams made up of 200 secondary school students competed for the Hong Kong Jockey Club Trophy for Flying Bird Model.

Each team had to submit a model made entirely by themselves, containing moving parts so that the model would fly on its own for a set distance.
