Sai Kung's popular Po Pin Chau trail has been fully booked for the upcoming National Day holiday, when Hong Kong anticipates 1.3 million visitors from mainland China. The High Island Geo Trail – Po Pin Chau Section will not have any available time slots for Friday and Saturday next week. Booking is also full for this Friday and Saturday during Mid-Autumn Festival, although a few openings remain on other days of Hong Kong's Golden Week break.
The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department introduced a trial booking system for the site, which has gained popularity due to its viral social media presence. Visitors must book in advance for all weekends and public holidays starting September and ending on October 7 to prevent ecological damage. The AFCD recommends visiting the nearby Biu Tsim Kok viewing point instead if a spot is not secured on the trail.
The Hong Kong Tourism Board has extended the International Lantern Spectacular in Victoria Park until October 4, responding to public interest.
