An event which combined sports, sustainable development and charity drew more than 3,000 people to the Tai Po Waterfront Park earlier this month.
The HSBC Pok Oi Cycle for Millions was held on March 15. Participants cycled from the Waterfront Park to Shatin Park to raise funds for Pok Oi Hospital. People from all walks of life took part in the event - the first of its kind in Hong Kong. It raised more than HK$1 million to improve social and community services at the hospital.
Renowned cyclist Wong Kam-po was the ambassador.
'I'm very happy to participate in the event,' Wong said. 'It helps to promote cycling and allows more people to enjoy it. It also raises funds for charity.'
Participants completed the 10km ride along the Tolo Harbour Cycle Trail to Shatin Park, where the closing ceremony was held.
In Sha Tin, there were game counters promoting road safety, bicycle stunt shows and a bicycle exhibition.
