Do Well Do Good: The Sustainable Lantau !
【“Sustainable Lantau” Photo Exhibition and its kick-off ceremony】
To raise public awareness on Lantau Island, not only its environment, but also its culture and history, this year, JCI Lantau is organizing its 2022 flagship project, “ The Sustainable Lantau” Photo Exhibition. By gathering our dedications, we show the world the precious value and beauty of Lantau through photography.
The project would last for 5 months from May to September 2022. Apart from the photo exhibition, a wide range of activities will be provided to encourage the public to protect the environment as well as enhancing individual skills!
After weeks of preparations, the registration of the event was kicked-off with the opening ceremony held online on 30 May. In the opening ceremony, Chairman of Islands District Council, Randy YU, MH, JP, highlighted the economic development, environmental protection, and sustainable living of the Island should be balanced. The hiking trails, villages, and ecotourism of the Island are also worth to be treasured. KOL Melody Cheng also mentioned that photography is a common language for all people around the globe to share and learn about the beauty of Lantau Island.
Following are the introduction of the activities and details of photo submissions:
