Stretching from Kennedy Town to Shau Kei Wan, the 13-kilometer boardwalk on Hong Kong Island reached a significant milestone with the completion of its final segment on Dec 29. This achievement marks a major step in the city’s ongoing harborfront development, offering seamless access to the stunning vistas of Victoria Harbour. The fully connected pathway features designated zones for leisure, arts, pet-friendly activities, and community gatherings, creating an inclusive space for all. China Daily’s Andy Chong captured moments of joy, discovery, and relaxation along this vibrant link.
