>Background
Rural townships are recognised as an important heritage of Hong Kong as they are among the earliest settlements in the territory. Lau Fau Shan is one of the rural townships in the North West New Territories, which provides a good potential for being developed into a major tourism and recreational attraction. The public have also made suggestion to develop Lau Fau Shan and its surrounding areas for recreational and tourism purposes.
Planning Department has therefore commissioned Ove Arup & Partners Hong Kong Ltd. in February 2009 to carry out the Consultancy Study entitled “Study on the Enhancement of the Lau Fau Shan Rural Township and Surrounding Areas” (Agreement No. CE 44/2008(TP)) to realize the tourism and recreational potential of Lau Fau Shan and its surrounding areas.
