Eco Expo Asia public day holds premiere ceremony of "Enchanting China" season two and interactive session with students (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
     ​The Secretary for Environment and Ecology, Mr Tse Chin-wan; member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and the Convenor of the Working Group on Patriotic Education, Dr Starry Lee; the Chairman of the Environment and Conservation Fund Committee, Dr Eric Cheng; and the Chairman of the Environmental Campaign Committee, Ms Grace Kwok, attended the public day of the 20th Eco Expo Asia and the premiere ceremony of the "Enchanting China" season two today (October 31).

     In his speech, Mr Tse introduced that the documentary series "Enchanting China" season two released this year consists of five episodes. The themes are, namely "Living Rivers", "Pristine Seas and Shores", "Sun-kissed Rice Fields", "Zero-Carbon Energy" and "Green Transportation". These episodes showcase China's major achievements and technological contributions in environmental protection and green development from different perspectives, fostering patriotism among the younger generation and helping them understand the country's ecological civilisation development practices and progress toward building a beautiful China.

     In addition, the Environment and Ecology Bureau is producing the documentary series "Enchanting Hong Kong" with a total of five episodes. The first episode, "Picturesque Bays of Hong Kong", features the magnificent Mirs Bay, vividly showing how the environment in Hong Kong has improved since its return to the motherland, with the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government dedicating great efforts to environmental protection and nature conservation, yielding fruitful results. At the event today, an excerpt from the "The City of Life" episode of "Enchanting Hong Kong" delicately portrayed how the HKSAR Government balances urban vitality and development needs while protecting lush green environments and biodiversity, transforming Hong Kong into a more liveable and sustainable vibrant city. Mr Tse encouraged the participating student representatives to explore more, cherish the ecological miracles of the country and Hong Kong, and join hands to inject new impetus into sustainable development.

     Afterwards, Deputy Director of Environmental Protection Dr Vanessa Au hosted the Environmental Education Interactive Session for Students, during which personnel from the Water Quality Management Division of the Environmental Protection Department shared key points on keeping shorelines clean and raising teenagers' environmental awareness. Dr Au then hosted the "Exploring Beautiful Campuses" segment in the interactive session, inviting students to share the most charming aspects of their campuses, design tour routes, and introduce highlights related to environmental protection on campuses. She praised how the campuses cleverly integrate green elements to cultivate students' daily habits of cherishing resources and loving the Earth. She then presented certificates to student representatives to encourage them to turn the public day experience into action, share it with families and friends, and contribute to environmental protection in daily life.

     The 20th Eco Expo Asia was held from October 28 to 31, with the last day as a public day open to all free of charge. This year's public day programme also included green seminars, green workshops and interactive games.
