Q Should Hei Ling Chau be developed as a tourist attraction instead of a jail?
As an offshore island, Hei Ling Chau has the potential to become a major tourist attraction. Its breathtaking scenery and total isolation from the bustling city would certainly attract tourists who may be looking forward to spending time with nature.
I hope our government could consider promoting Hei Ling Chau as a place for tourists.

The government is now doing its best to revive the tourism industry. Besides supporting Disneyland, it encourages every district to promote their unique attractions.
However, the government is now trying to build a prison on a potential site for tourism. Isn't this a waste of resources, especially amid these tough times?
Hei Ling Chau is an ideal place for promoting eco-tourism. The island is far from crowded areas and is almost free of pollution. It has beautiful scenery, with beaches and greenery.
