Following overcrowding during the Lunar New Year holiday, campers and hikers are requesting improved oversight of Hong Kong campsites. Popular sites like Ham Tin Wan in Sai Kung experienced high visitor numbers, leading to litter and unsanitary conditions. While the Agricultural, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) increased patrols and reminded campers to dispose of waste properly, some believe more comprehensive measures are needed. Suggestions include enhanced public education, stricter law enforcement, and implementing visitor limits at campsites. Some propose diverting excess visitors to less crowded locations to mitigate the impact on popular areas.
