Got the finalized itinerary!!

It is so exited that the summer course will be started soon.  I've got the finalized itinerary.  I can't wait to study it.

Tin Shui Wai New Town
The first day trip is Tin Shui Wai district.  Tin Shui Wai is a place developed in 1980s from a fish pond area to a new town.  The government develop Tin Shui Wai as a big public housing area to solve the housing problem in Hong Kong.  Due to the location is far to the downtown, residents take long travelling time to work everyday.  It caused the cost of properties at low side.

Tin Shui Wai do not have any commercial development.  It is mainly for residential.  A newspaper found that the government and the developer has a contract to prohibit commercial development in Tin Shui Wai.  It protect the profit of the developer's future private real estate project.  Some people said it is the reason to make Tin Shui Wai have lots social problems, said family violent, teenage drug abuse etc.

Wetland
Tin Shui Wai was a fish pond area.  There were lots wetlands around it, eg. Mai Po, Pak Nai.  It was an environment with Ecosystem for rich biodiversity.  The Tin Shui Wai development project damaged many wetlands.  Government built the wetland park to educate residents the original environment of Tin Shui Wai.  (They damaged the nature environment and educate people for the important of the nature environment...well :(
 
Ping Shan
Ping Shan is the living place of Deng's Family (one of "The Five Great Clans" in New Territory in Hong Kong).  There are lots of traditional Chinese's historical buildings in this area.  Hung Shui Kiu New Town Development Project (part of Tin Shui Wai Development Project) damaged some of the old villages.  Government built the Ping Shan Heritage Trail to protect some historical buildings and target to attract tourism. (again... damage and built a monument... )
