60th anniversary of cross-border water supplies

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Dongjiang (East River) water supply to Hong Kong, a significant milestone in cross-border water cooperation between Hong Kong and mainland China. Since the 1960s, Dongjiang water has accounted for about 70% to 80% of Hong Kong's fresh water consumption, playing a vital role in the city's development.

​These activities aim to raise public awareness about the importance of Dongjiang water and express gratitude for the support from the mainland.​ These initiatives provide opportunities for residents and visitors to learn about the history, development, and current status of the Dongjiang water supply, fostering a deeper appreciation for this essential resource.​
