What do you think of Hong Kong's waterfront parks?

I refer to the report 'Waterfront parks come under fire' (March 10) and have to say that the problem extends beyond the waterfront. All over Hong Kong you can see ill-placed seating where a simple rotation of 45 degrees would have those seated looking at a fantastic view rather than a wall.

It is the same with barbecue pits at Hung Shing Yeh Beach on Lamma, with the pits facing the power station. Had the barbecue area been built on the other side of the bay, it would have had stunning views and the power station would have been out of sight.

The path from Yung Shue Wan to Sok Kwu Wan features seating that again faces the power station, ignoring the magnificent views just 30 degrees' rotation to the left.

But you learn to have low expectations when even the grand projects of Hong Kong are so wrong but for a little realignment and a little more thought as to what people actually want.
