Thanks to you too! Really appreciated for your help to spread the words! I really want to draw the international attention to stop the HK government decision. This is the last heritage site we can find on this land!!!

am41077, Good Stuff. Thanks for bringing this to our attention! Sounds like a real shame if they go through with it.

I couldn't agree more with your comment.
Infact, the HK government claimed this land belongs to them, but I believe it belongs to tourists across the globe!
