Overview
For many years, Lung Fu Shan has been a favourite destination for morning walkers, with thousands of visitors jogging or hiking in the area everyday. In the past, the region was under joint administration of several government departments without clearly defined remits. Some parts of the countryside was poorly maintained and certain sites of high conservation value were degraded.
The Lung Fu Shan Country Park provides a wide range of leisure facilities, including 2 picnic sites, barbecue area, notice boards, toilets, fitness equipment, pedestrian walkway, rain shelter and lookout. There are also a planting site, stoves for boiling water, freshwater mains and clothes hangers. Specially designed items like tea-making tools, clothes hangers and the fitness cobblestone path are all pioneering facilities for Hong Kong country parks. Their appearance is closely associated with the background history of Lung Fu Shan Country Park.
