******************************************************************************************
     The Deputy Chief Secretary for Administration, Mr Cheuk Wing-hing; the Deputy Financial Secretary, Mr Michael Wong; the Deputy Secretary for Justice, Dr Cheung Kwok-kwan, and the Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs, Mr Erick Tsang Kwok-wai, visited a Chinese restaurant in Wan Chai today (July 1) after attending the flag-raising ceremony and reception to celebrate the 28th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR). They enjoyed tea and July 1 dining discounts to commemorate Hong Kong's return to the motherland.
 
     The Secretaries of Departments and Director of Bureau ordered a variety of dim sum and had morning tea, including shrimp dumplings at a discount of 29 per cent. The atmosphere there was lively and members of the public were enthusiastic about the dining discount activities. The catering sector special offers have received strong support, with the number of participating restaurants increasing each year, from more than 1 400 in 2023, to more than 2 200 in 2024, and reaching 4 100 this year.
 
     After morning tea, Mr Cheuk, Mr Wong and Mr Tsang enjoyed the Free Tram Day offer and arrived at Lee Tung Avenue, where they experienced the festive atmosphere featuring free distributions of ice cream, popcorn and panda-shaped balloons.
 
     The current-term Government has pioneered the practice of turning the anniversary of the establishment of the HKSAR into a festival, which has received positive responses from all sectors of society. The Government and different sectors have jointly launched a series of special offers and activities covering public transport, culture and arts, leisure, food and consumption, among others, to encourage the public to go out for consumption, participate in activities, and joyfully celebrate Hong Kong's return to the motherland on July 1.
