Once a drab musty-smelling nullah, the Tsui Ping River that has helped prevent flooding in Hong Kong’s Kwun Tong for decades has taken on a new life with the construction of a smart water gate and seven new pedestrian walkways, as well as the addition of mangroves and bird perches.
The revitalised watercourse, which stretches for 1km (.06 miles) along King Yip Street that connects the Tsui Ping area to Kowloon Bay, will officially reopen on Thursday after the completion of a four-year project by the Drainage Services Department.
