In recent years, the Government has been dedicated to turning Kowloon East into a Green Core Business District. The Development Bureau proposed the Energizing Kowloon East Conceptual Master Plan and put forward the concept of transforming the King Yip Street nullah in Kwun Tong into Tsui Ping River. The Drainage Services Department aims to convert the existing nullah into a unique river with environmental, ecological and landscaping upgrading works. To match with the objective of the revitalization, the Project will also enhance the connectivity with the pedestrian network.

The King Yip Street nullah is located in the centre of Kwun Tong District adjacent to the residential and commercial areas. Its inherent riverine characteristics makes it a precious riverside public space in the urban areas

"Revitalization of Tsui Ping River" comprises the transformation of about one kilometre of the existing nullah alongside King Yip Street, King Yip Lane and Tsui Ping Road into Tsui Ping River with environmental, ecological and landscaping upgrading. To cope with the objective of the revitalization, the project also beautifies the adjacent pedestrian walkways and enhance the connectivity with the pedestrian network.

The project will include the following focuses:

• Revitalizing the River
• Improving Walking Environment & Connectivity
• Fostering a Vibrant Public Space
• Reducing Flood Risk

Through this visit, you will know more about the nature-based solutions and eco elements in public works.
