My summer intern was at the same press briefing yesterday, but The Standard and other newspapers published it first. The Lamma-zine will be focusing on the Lamma tours and get people to vote for them.

Yes, night eco-tours in Sok Kwu Wan, a first for the Conservancy Assoc. I've been trying to convince them for a long time to do English tours as well and asked them to let me join one of of their current all-Chin. tours, specifically this "night safari". Lamma-zine story & photos coming up....

Any volunteers who'd would like to be trained as Lamma eco-tour guides for English tours, or do I need to volunteer myself?

In the meantime, the first Green Lamma Green eco-routes are described in this guide linked from the left side of the home page for the last several years, under the "Tourist Info" heading: Eco-Tour Map:

The latest version of the "Lamma Island Eco-tour map" has been published by the Conservancy Association and HK Electric. There are now 2 additional local eco-tours, bringing the total to 5. All of them in Cantonese only so far:

Ecology ABC, Wonders of Wind Energy, Ramble on the Rocks, The HK Greenhouse, Night Safari.

Even though I've hiked all those 5 trails many times, there are sightseeing spots along the way I seem to have missed! Boat House? Pak Kok Tree Planting Site? Wall Tree?

Pick up the free, large, bilingual map - probably also the best Lamma tourist guide available - at the Rural Committee offices or the District Council office in the next few weeks (not available there yet, I've checked).

HK Electric story -- Green HK Green story -- SCMP story -- Map PDF file (2,791KB)

I've cut out the major sections below for your convenience:

The new, updated Lamma Eco-Tour Map above is available now.

Pick up a copy from the literature rack outside the District Council office on Main Street (just besides the Lamma Gourmet shop). This is probably the best tourist map and guide currently available, featuring 5 local walks instead of the usual single one (Family Trail) in other online and printed tourist maps/guides.

All the 5 featured walks are highly recommended and pretty doable (Ling Kok Shan features, but Mt. Stenhouse is NOT included).

The map is also linked from the Tourist Info section on the left side of the home page and all Lamma-zine pages: NEW Eco-Tour Map

There's one more new Eco-Tour Map, featuring the Country Parks of Aberdeen, Tai Tam and Lung Fu Shan. Not available on Lamma, but I've got a copy if you're interested.
