Description

The 2016 Dragon Boat Carnival will take place at the Central Harbourfront between 10-12 June 2016.

We are extremely disappointed that half of the 400-meter competition is blocked from view by the 200m closed public space – an area which was rezoned as a military berth in 2013.

We urge the Lands Department to open up the fences and let the public enter the site to view the dragon boat races. The area can be managed by the organizer and/or LCSD as part of the promenade.
