Hong Kong to add 3 more wheelchair-friendly trails in country parks next year
Hong Kong authorities plan to add three new wheelchair-friendly trails in country parks next year, but users and concern groups say that more should be done to enhance accessibility so more people with disabilities can enjoy nature. The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department said that the three routes would offer residents short distances and scenic spots. One is located at Lions Nature Education Centre, another is located at Plover Cove Country Park – Tai Mei Tuk and the Plover Cove Reservoir, while the third is located at Clear Water Bay Country Park – Tai Hang Tun. The paths are wide and paved, with barrier-free facilities, such as toilets and barbecue sites, designed for wheelchair users. They also feature electric wheelchair charging spots. The three new routes will complement the four existing long-distance trails designed for wheelchair users at country parks. 'Country parks are very diverse places. Most of the four routes we first launched cover longer distances … the three new ones are designed to introduce some small attractions,' Karen Po Ka-wai, country parks ranger services officer of special projects of the department, said.

We have black On The List bags everywhere in the house and in the back of the car. We use them for everything. When the kids were younger, they could fit in them but now they're a bit too big. When we go for dinner, we use them to bring a bottle of wine or Champagne for the host. Diego Dultzin Lacoste and his golf bag. Photo: Jocelyn Tam A scent that immediately brings you joy? The smell of freshly cut grass. I used to play a lot of golf. As a 15-, 16- and 17-year-old, I went to Scotland, Wales and Ireland to compete and that smell reminds me of arriving at a tournament at a.m. and feeling both pressure and excitement. It brings back good memories. Your favourite city and the first thing you do there? My dad is Mexican and my mother is French. I grew up in both Mexico City and Paris and have good memories of both places. The first thing I do in both cities is eat with friends – in Mexico I go for tacos and in Paris it's oysters. An item you never travel without? Family. We did a lot of business trips before the kids were born and now, when we have the opportunity, we travel with them. If I'm travelling alone, I've always got my AirPods and listen to podcasts about luxury, retail and entrepreneurship. I especially like a French one called Génération Do It Yourself with long interviews with people in sports, the arts and entrepreneurs. Diego Dultzin Lacoste's Devialet sound system.

It's fun.
