SEE continues visit to Qinghai (with photos)

********************************************

     The Secretary for Environment and Ecology, Mr Tse Chin-wan, continued his visit to Qinghai yesterday (July 21) and today (July 22).

     Mr Tse first visited the Talatan photovoltaic industrial park yesterday, which is the first 10 million kilowatt-class solar power generation base on the Mainland. Leveraging rich solar and hydro resources in the area, the industrial park has built the "highest capacity solar power facility" and the "highest capacity hydro-solar power station" in the world respectively, and has successfully integrated photovoltaic power generation with ecological management of desertification. It assists locals in shepherding, improves the local ecological environment while promoting clean energy development.

     On the afternoon of the same day, Mr Tse visited the Qinghai Lake National Park and the biodiversity conservation centre at Qinghai Lake to learn about the conservation work of plateau species, under the principles of scientific research and monitoring, rescue and breeding, and study-tour experience, as well as the maintenance of the unique ecosystem of plateau wetlands through ecological restoration.

     Mr Tse first visited Gangshka Snow Peak in the Qilian Mountains this morning to learn about the "Leave No Trace" hiking mechanism for protecting local glacier and snow mountain ecosystems, with a view to balancing ecological protection with moderate tourism development. The delegation then visited the Qilian Mountain National Park Ecological Science Museum to learn about the development history of national parks across the globe and on the Mainland. They also gained a deeper understanding of the rich ecosystems, ecological value, biodiversity, scientific research and monitoring of the Qilian Mountain National Park, as well as its practical experience in promoting ecological protection education.

     The valuable experience of Qinghai Province in successfully integrating green technology, new energy and ecological industries upholds the nation's key concept that "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets". This visit helps Hong Kong to more actively align with the National 15th Five-Year Plan as the city advances its comprehensive green transition and formulates its First Five-Year Plan, thereby supporting the nation to achieve high-quality development.

     Mr Tse will conclude his visit in Qinghai and return to Hong Kong tomorrow (July 23).
