The design of Tsuen Wan District's "A Jiangnan Residence" adopts natural elements including rockeries and water features adorned with a stone bridge, stone sculptures, a stone table and an archway, enriching the serene landscape. Featuring myriad lush flowers and trees with complementary colour tones, this plot showcases the beauty of harmony in nature.

Kwai Tsing's garden, with the theme of "The Blissful Valley", is inspired by gardens in northern Thailand. To support going green, this plot uses recyclable and environmentally friendly materials, including a meditation platform and seat pads made of fallen trees after a typhoon. Such a design epitomises the traditional philosophy of merging nature with everyday living.

Eastern District's "The Cherished Days of Hong Kong" is inspired by the resettlement estates of Hong Kong in the past. The plot, displaying small shops and playground equipment of the old days, is filled with common plants and adorned with vigorously coloured cosmos, vividly telling the stories of Hong Kong. In addition, the use of green materials also creates a nostalgic atmosphere reminiscent of those cherished days.

Yuen Long District's "The Happy Cottage" depicts the theme of a dwarves' garden. To allow visitors to immerse in its beauty, the plot is planted with fragrant spring flowers, vegetation and trees, while the winding path and gurgling water create a lively atmosphere that brims with the joy of nature.

Wan Chai District’s "Joyful Wanderlust" features the joy of an outing with family and friends. The garden, featuring a caravan adorned with flowers and a camp table, is surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant blossoms.

The design of Islands District's "Treasure Hunt Adventure" features tropical flowers and plants brimming with dazzling colours to create an exotic Caribbean charm. In addition, a treasure trove featuring flowing water is set up with treasure chests scattered around. The landscape is made with recycled zinc panels and discarded wood to show support to the principle of going green.

All entries in the Garden Plot Competitions were meticulously designed by staff of the District Leisure Services Offices of the LCSD. Members of the public can visit the flower show to enjoy the above winning entries and other garden plot designs. Meanwhile, the flower show is hosting the "My Most Favourite Garden Plot" online voting campaign (www.hkflowershow.hk/en/hkfs/2025/voting.html), encouraging voters to choose their favourites from the garden plots of the 18 districts at the show, with a chance of winning free air tickets.

Hong Kong Students Return from Large-Scale National Security Education Tour in Mainland China

Third National Security Education Study Tour returns to Hong Kong after visiting Beijing and Nanjing

The third National Security Education Study Tour organised by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government concluded and returned to Hong Kong this afternoon (April 3). This year's study tour was impressively large in scale, comprising 187 principals, teachers and students (including 17 non-Chinese speaking students) from 30 primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong. Members of the study tour were primarily from the winning school teams, their coaching principals and teachers in the Territory-wide Inter-School National Security Knowledge Challenge, jointly organised by the Department of Justice, the Security Bureau, the Education Bureau and the Hong Kong Shine Tak Foundation.

The study tour departed for Beijing on March 28. The primary school group completed their tour and returned to Hong Kong on April 1, while the secondary school group proceeded to Nanjing on the same day and returned today. The Secretary General of the Committee for Safeguarding National Security of the HKSAR, Mr Au Chi-kwong, accompanied the study tour to Beijing on March 28, while the Deputy Secretary for Justice, Dr Cheung Kwok-kwan, and the Chairman of the Hong Kong Shine Tak Foundation, Mr Lam Kwok-hing, joined the study tour on March 29. On March 30, members of the study tour were warmly received by the Deputy Director of the Hong Kong and Macao Work Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council, Mr Nong Rong.

The itinerary included the study tour having been invited to ascend the viewing stands of the Tiananmen Square where they watched the national flag-raising ceremony with the military band playing music on April 1. They also visited the Great Wall at Juyongguan Pass, the Museum of the Communist Party of China, the Museum of the War of Chinese People's Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Zhongguancun Science and Technology Exhibition Center, the China Science and Technology Museum, the Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders, the Jiangsu National Security Education Museum, and an enterprise, Nanjing Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. Additionally, the students engaged in exchange activities with teachers and students at the High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China and Zhongguancun No.3 Primary School Science and Technology Park Campus, Beijing.

The students were fully engaged throughout the tour, not only actively participating in various activities but also proactively probing and boldly asking questions. Through their observations and learning, they have deepened their understanding of the country's development and national affairs, gained a better grasp of the significance of national security, and strengthened their sense of national identity and responsibility. During the school exchange, the students were captivated by the Mainland diverse and interactive teaching methods and were deeply touched by the enthusiasm of local students. After the exchange, they became friends and further exchanged contact information to develop their friendships.

Chiu, a student from Po Leung Kuk Tin Ka Ping Primary School, expressed that when visiting the Museum of the War of Chinese People's Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, she was deeply moved by the valour of our pioneers in fighting against the enemy whilst our country was under invasion. She said that she would certainly share her reflections with her friends and parents and looks forward to visiting the Museum again with her parents. Zhang, a student from Pui Kiu Middle School, recalling his viewing experience on the stands of the Tiananmen Square, expressed that watching the extra-large national flag rise gradually in the morning light, coupled with the imposing presence and resounding footsteps of the Guard of Honour, has given him a great sense of appreciation about the Motherland's strength and made him proud of being Chinese. Eiman, a non-Chinese-speaking student from Po Leung Kuk Ngan Po Ling College, noted that the study tour helped him realise that social stability and security are essential prerequisites for national development. He also reflected that other countries could look to China's development model as a reference for seeking happiness for their people.

Dr Cheung Kwok-kwan encouraged students to live by the exploratory spirit of combining reading and travelling, and to deepen their understanding of the history and the current state of the Motherland. He also called on the students to make the best use of the study tour to appreciate the country's history and cultures, its scientific and technological development, and current national affairs, in order that they can better equip themselves and contribute to the Motherland and Hong Kong in future.

Mr Au expected that students would grasp four key points during the tour: security is of paramount importance to any country; the Communist Party of China shoulders the mission of rejuvenating the Chinese nation; a holistic approach to national security should be fully implemented; and ensuring both development and security is of great importance. Mr Au hoped that students of the study tour, through field learning and exchange with the Mainland counterparts, would take pride in the country's latest development, feel proud of being Chinese, and strengthen their confidence and determination in safeguarding national security.

The HKSAR Government would like to express its sincere gratitude to the Hong Kong and Macao Work Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the HKSAR and the Office for Safeguarding National Security of the Central People's Government in the HKSAR for their wholehearted support, and also to the relevant authorities in Beijing and Nanjing for their warm hospitality. Thanks to them, members of the study tour returned with a wealth of enriching experiences, and the students have gained unforgettable and fond memories that will profoundly shape their personal growth.
