#1492: Hong Kong Central Park is about to open, shocking Hong Kong
Central Park in New York is located in the center of Manhattan, covering an area of 340 hectares and 150 blocks. It has a total length of 93 kilometers of walking paths, 9,000 benches and
The facilities in the park include acres of light green grass, a small forest with lush trees, courtyards, an ice rink, a carousel, an open-air theater, two small zoos, a lake where you can go boating, tennis courts, a sports field, an art gallery, etc.
There are many activities in the park, from regular softball games to various concerts held on festival days, providing residents and tourists in the downtown area with a much-needed leisure place and a quiet spiritual home.
Central Park in New York is free to visit, and the number of visitors to the park reaches more than 25 million each year, nearly 300,000 people per day in summer, and about 30,000 people per day in winter.
Central Park in New York is beautiful in all seasons, with bright red and tender green in spring, bright sunshine in summer, red maple leaves in autumn, and silvery white in winter.
The Central Park in Hong Kong was designed on the basis of Central Park in New York by hiring the world’s most powerful designers.
These designers include I.M. Pei and his son, who designed the Empire State Building, as well as European, American, domestic, and Japanese designers in architecture, gardens, aesthetics, and so on.
In addition, in addition to the Hong Kong Governor’s Office contributing a sum of money, this Hong Kong Central Park also accepts donations from all walks of life around the world.
Among them, the Empire State Foundation donated a lot of money.
And this time, when Yang Ming and others entered here for the first time, he was really surprised.
As for the others, it goes without saying.
This is actually Hong Kong Central Park.
After all, this place is still very different from New York Central Park.
This is the long runway of the original Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport, and then land reclamation was carried out on this basis to expand the area here to exceed the area of New York Central Park.
There are sea water on both sides here, which is part of Victoria Harbor, but on the opposite side is Hong Kong Central District, and then the most prosperous place in Kowloon, Hong Kong.
It can be said that this is one of the best places in Hong Kong in terms of geographical location.
Now all of it is used to build such a large central park, which can be said to have a very different meaning.
The area of New York Central Park is close to 341 hectares.
The area of Hong Kong Central Park is even larger, close to 400 hectares, which is 4 square kilometers, or 4 million square meters.
And the general park may be only tens of thousands of square meters, at most hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of square meters.
However, this is 4 million square meters, which is already terrifying in terms of area.
Nowadays, in addition to a large number of lawns and precious trees, there are also gardens, a large number of playgrounds, sports fields, etc.
However, all of these are free and are provided free of charge to Hong Kong citizens and tourists from all over the world who visit Hong Kong.
The area of Hong Kong Central Park is very large.
According to the current area here, it is probably difficult to visit it all day.
Therefore, during the period, Yang Ming and others got on a small tour bus and took a look at the overall Hong Kong Central Park.
It was about 11:30 in the morning.
Yang Ming and others had finished watching.
He was still very satisfied with this Hong Kong Central Park. At least he felt that it was not worse than New York Central Park, and even better.
When the trees here become a forest to a certain extent, the environment here may be better.
People like him think that they can come here to have fun when they have time.
Because in the most prosperous urban area of Hong Kong, the largest green area may be here.
Because even at the top of Victoria Peak, it is mainly houses.
Before leaving, Hong Kong Governor Zhong Yijie asked: “Sir Yang, what do you think of this place?”
“Just as I imagined, it can be compared with New York Central Park.”
“I think so too.”
Before leaving, the current head of the Hong Kong Central Park Management Office brought pen and ink, hoping that Sir Yang and Zhong Yijie could nominate in person.
Originally, Yang Ming rarely participated in such things.
Since he was asked to write now.
Yang Ming also wrote in traditional and simplified Chinese on the paper.
Hong Kong Central Park.
Zhong Yijie wrote it in English.
Others wrote in Oriental, Korean, French, German, etc.
After doing this, the task of inspecting Hong Kong Central Park in advance was completed.
. . .
That afternoon.
Reporters from TVB, Asia Television, Radio Hong Kong, Oriental Daily, Sing Tao Daily, Hong Kong Business Daily, and major newspapers and TV stations stationed in Hong Kong reported on Hong Kong Central Park in detail.
These reporters praised Hong Kong Central Park and believed that it was one of the best central parks in the world.
It was very rare in the city center of Hong Kong where every inch of land is valuable.
That night.
The evening editions of major newspapers in Hong Kong were all out.
Deep Water Bay.
Li’s villa.
Li Jiacheng had just come back from get off work. The maid changed Li Jiacheng’s suit and Li Jiacheng sat on the sofa with his legs crossed.
Before dinner, he would habitually pick up newspapers and read them.
Although the Internet is becoming more and more developed, Li Jiacheng is still not used to getting global information through the Internet and still thinks newspapers are the best.
Now when he read those newspapers, he found that the headlines were all about the news that Sir Yang, chairman of the Empire Group, and Hong Kong Governor Zhong Yijie, as well as representatives from all walks of life in Hong Kong, had inspected Hong Kong Central Park in advance.
From this news, Sir Yang and Governor Zhong Yijie were full of praise.
However, when Li Jiacheng saw this news and thought of the runway of Kai Tak International Airport, he felt that it was a waste to use it for the Central Park. It would be better to divide the land into plots for auction and build a commercial building every year. The rent would be quite high in a year.
Of course, Li Jiacheng also knew that even if he wanted to compete with Sir Yang, he would not be able to compete with the companies under Sir Yang.
Whether it was Wharf Holdings, Landmark, or other real estate companies, they were too strong in Hong Kong.
Of course, Li Jiacheng felt that it was really not easy for Yang Ming to make this piece of land into Hong Kong Central Park.
At least, Li Jiacheng knew that he couldn’t do it.
But Sir Yang was willing.
This Hong Kong Central Park must be one of the main landmarks of Hong Kong in the future.
“Daddy, I’m back.”
Li Jiacheng was reading newspapers, and the voice of Li Zeju, who had just got off work, came from the door.
Seeing that it was the eldest son who came back from get off work, he nodded.
“Has Fu Xin not come back from her mother’s house yet?”
“Daddy, Fu Xin went to Canada, and I’m afraid it will take some time for her to come back.”
Li Jiacheng nodded.
The main reason is that the daughter-in-law has taken the children there, making the villa a little deserted.
When Li Jiacheng usually thinks about business, he likes quietness.
But when he comes back from get off work, he also hopes to enjoy the joy of family.
“Daddy, is there any big news?”
“Hong Kong Central Park is about to open.”
Li Zeju came to sit next to Li Jiacheng and saw the headlines of these newspapers, which were all about news about Hong Kong Central Park.
“Daddy, this is very good for Hong Kong’s tourism industry. Tomorrow, listed companies related to tourism may rise.” (End of this chapter)
