On Saturday, officials announced that approximately 1,500 individuals had registered to visit the Po Pin Chau trail in Sai Kung East Country Park on the inaugural day of a real-name reservation trial. The scheme allows up to 500 visitors per two-hour time slot, with a daily total not exceeding 2,000. Booking must be done through the Klook platform using one's real name, which will be confirmed upon arrival.
The trial spans all weekends in September, culminating with the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the National Day Golden Week in October. Mickey Lai, Director of Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation, reported that operations ran smoothly on the opening day, citing the setting up of information centers as a key measure to manage crowd flows.
He noted that today's turnout was typical and similar to previous instances. Lai emphasized the importance of ongoing monitoring of crowd flow throughout the weekends, with special attention to the holidays of Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day Golden Week. Walk-in visitors were accommodated due to unfilled reservation slots.
