It will be fun that different types of people gathere in a city.Although the skin colour,the language of us are not the same,we can still use other methods to communicate with each other.If there is a chance for me to interflow with other people,it will be great.

Of course Hong Kong is not just like what we saw,it was also beautiful.Hong Kong were not just a busy beton city but also had its qute face.Different people of differnet region with different complexion can life and work together peacefully.How warm Hong Kong was!There are still many place in Hong Kong were clean and beautiful.Hong Kong is not just what we thought,if we protect the environment better,every place of Hong Kong will become beautiful and clean,the blue sky will also able to seen~

Comment by Danny in 2A

I agree what Danny said.Of course Hong Kong did like what we said ,such as tall buildings and cars.In Hong Kong has a lot of places,they can let the other coutry people to dance and sing.Other people said Hong Kong has noise and air pollution but in the New Territories.There are a lot of trees and animals.Also the air there is very fresh too.Another thing is Hong Kong people is very warm and kind,they help each other and not just said by other people.They think Hong Kong people is cool but I don’t think so.Another side of Hong Kong is very beautiful.

Comment by Alan Cheng(2a3)

Hong Kong is a beautiful place in my mind and it is a wonderful heaven in my heart also.
Many people say that the person who lives in HK is very busy.I agree this idea as people seem working at any time.I think which is very laborious so people must relax and give some entertainment to themselve.
However,Hong Kong space is really small and human’s quality is too many.When I walking on the streets,I think that is crlwded.I can not breath in fresh air.
Government should implement some measures to improve the life of Hong Kong.The residents shoud make their own duty.Let Hong Kon become better.

I really bored of the crowded city. Not just weekends but every day. But after I saw the website the introduce Hong Kong’s some open air, I have change my mind. I think Hong Kong is a special place. There are many places that are very characteristic. So that many people from other country come and visit. Therefore, Hong Kong is a famous and be popular in the world.

Comment by Yoyo 2A

So I think if I have not seen this film,I will not discover the other of HK in my life!!It is totally different to what I see in the real life.It is more attractive,beauty and diversification.Be A Hong Kong person,I think I need to go to find more this kind of new information.

Comment by Jacky Law Tsz Kit

Hong Kong is an international financial centre, the beat of this community is very fast and buildings are in everywhere. In this crowded society, it is so good to take a rest. For example, we can discover more about Hong Kong.

Before I read this website, I really did not know that there are so many special places in Hong Kong. We can go to New Territories to breathe in some fresh air, look at the beautiful nature. We can also go The Peak Galleria Market for shopping .You may watch a moonlight movie too, it is so romantic, isn’t it?

Comment by Mo Sin Ying(Sandy)

Hong Kong is just a city made by buildings but at the country side are also a lot of beautoful tree and mountains.I have seen mangroves near Tai Mei Tuk.The view of the mangroves is totally different from Tsui Sha Tsui.People who go there usuallywith their family.So I think Hong Kong is not just a place for shopping or eating,it is also a place that have a lot of naturalanimals and special trees.

Comment by Grace(2c08)

Hong Kong is a busy place but also is a fantastic and fabulous home in my heart.
I agree that the person who lives in Hong Kong is very busy because it seem that working and working is the only thing in them life.I think which is very laborious so people should take a rest and have some entertainment in them holiday.
However,Hong Kong is very very crowded and the area for people to work is so many.When I was walking with my friend on the Mong Kok,I suddenly think that I liked a bird that was locked in a cage which was made for buildings.in this 13 years,I have not breathed any fresh air.
If the government has implemented these policies, the problem of air pollution will be solved very quickly and we hope we can see clear blue sky in the coming future.

Comment by Rico Kwok

This is great to have some “open air” in Hong Kong. We can relax in the markets when we appreciate the artistic productions, enjoy the homemade and organic food, look at the lovely dogs and so on. Also, the vendors achieve their dreams.

Besides, Hong Kong has different places. Each place is suitable to different people. (I like the eco-tourism in Hong Kong.) For this reason, there are tons of tourists visits Hong Kong.

By the way, I have gone to Cyberport but I have not gone to the Pofulam Market><.

Comment by Tang Nok Lam,Tracy 2A(33)

In Hong Kong,everyday people just like a robort!They wake up,go to worf,go back,bath,eat and sleep,that’s it!So boring no freedom!But in weekend,people can take a break after having 5 days such a boring life.After i read wesite,i am surprised that there are such special places in Hong Kong,so Hong Kong people, take some times to relax!Hong Kong also have some be beautiful places!The Peak Galleria Market,Pokfulam Market,have you been to there before?If not,let’s go!Discover the another side of Hong Kong!

Comment by Chou ho yee 2a 04

i agree that hong kong people are very busy on their work. they do not have time to take good rest even cannot sleep well.they do not have time for relaxing activities. they do not have time to enjoy our beautiful environment in hong kong neither. so i think that we should have good time management on weekends. “open air” is a good place to go. we can join their activities like MOONLIGHT MOVIES and Pokfulam Market. they sound fun and interesting. it is a pity that i cannot go to take a look on this weekends because i am really busy. i will go to have fun when i am free.

Hong Kong is a bored of the crowded city,it also have another side is great!!One of the great things is Moonlight Movies.
Moonlight Movies is Hong Kong’s first seasonal outdoor cinema.The chance to see treasured favourites like Scarface and The Breakfast Club on the big screen has proven popular with residents and corporate entities. The permanent, stationary LED screen at Cyberport Podium is approximately 6.8 meters high and 9 meters wide.
Specially made beanbags provide casual seating on the grass and visitors can enjoy food and bar service by The Dublin Jack. Companies that book corporate-hospitality or team-building events at Moonlight Movies enjoy special menu preparation and event-planning assistance.

It is a relax activity for the Hong Kong people.We work hard in this crowded city, there got a place that we can relax after we had been finished our works.
It is so great that we can watch the film in the outdoor.

Comment by Lui Kai Yiu 2A(21)

Hong Kong is a famous country in Asia and also the world. In Hong Kong , there have a lot of place can visit such as Ocean Park and so on. But for the nature place in Hong Kong are not enough so I feel that the air pollution in Hong Kong is very bad. That’s affect the weather in Hong Kong. So if Hong Kong can add more nature place ,then there will have a lot of good place for the people to go .I would not be boring on the weekend.

Comment by Chow Kin Fung 2C 7

I agree that I am bored of the crowded city life at weekends sometime. We don’t know what to do but now you give me some advise to me some web site to know more about open air. So next time my mother ask me where to go I can say it. I think the other side of Hong Kong is very good, if I have time I must go there once.

Comment by Christie LO=](2A19)

In Hong Kong, there are so many place that we can go, such as temple in Satin or the coutry sides of Hong Kong too.We can also go to New Territories and some island to take photos.

But I don’t know there are so many special shop or culture in Hong Kong.There are so many place to go, how can we just in front of TV or computer?Let’s go the courtry sides to pinic.Although the weather will become hot, we can go to be a volteer to help aothers.It will be a good experient in holiday.

Comment by Chipan (2c 04)

In the past Hong Kong is a good good place had big ocean ,big forest and fresh air. Now Hong Kong is a busy place won’t have big ocean ,big forest and fresh air.Hong Kong people live in Hong Kong are very busy too.Go to work go to study every day.Cannot go to free place and no time to find it.?Now we can go to website Open air to find a good place.It is a good idea to go to a free place.

Comment by Chang Hiu Yan,Renee1D(5)

Haha! Living in Hong Kong, I think the environment is not really good enough. There must be a tall building following you everywhere! But, how about living in Sai Kung like me? There are only beautiful flowers and tall trees following you everywhere!
In my village, not estate, houses are only four to five floors only. There’re no building like the city centre, fifteen or even forty floors!

Like I always say, I must be very satisfied. I’m a really happy and lucky girl.

So I am not bored and disturbed of the crowded city life at weekends would be. I just know, at every weekends, I can take a good nap and listen to the birds sing(or arguing) while I’m doing my own work.

My living is more space, although there isn’t any artistic element. =)

Comment by windy(2A)

I think that living in a place that has more space is better,but I also think that It will make people become farther and farther.In Hong Kong,the air is heavily polluted by factories but our wich in HK is based on these workings.
But inside some country that are more rich then hong kong but less polluted.It is because of the policy’s different.So Hong Kong can change!

Comment by ng chung yin,2A 24

Hong Kong is a busy, bored city. The working speed of the person is so fast.(just like a robot). Another point of view,if we don’t use this speed to work, we can’t develop so fast. I think we can take a rest to relax. We can go to country side and breath some freash air at the weekends.

I think living a cosmopolitan lifestyle more space is better. We can do more things.

Comment by kwokjoey

This is really a good website for us to look for the good places for relax. But it is not too perfect that we are not allowed to enter the cinema of the ‘Moonlight Movies’ because we are under 18 years old. If I have time, I would like to go with my family to that market and eat a lot of cotton candy– I love cotton candy!!

Comment by Kan Wai Chi 2C(15)

I really feel bored of the crowded city life. I am surprised Hong Kong has some open air market, such as Borrett Road Market, Pokfulam Market, Discovery Bay Market, and Moonlight Movies, and even open air cinema. I have seen some photo about these markets; they sold a lot of funny, interesting things, but they are a little bit expensive than the other. I interested open air cinema most, I have never been to these type of cinema .I think I will go there to see a film next time.

Comment by Trini or 2A (27)

All of us know most of the Hong Kong people are very busy. Every day we can only see the same things-many tall building without any plants.
I think it is good to be closed to the nature. It can make us relax and comfortable.
So, many people like to join this kinds of activities, to forget about the busy life for a short break.

Comment by Kristy2a34

In some days, we are felt very bored of seeing this Hong Kong. Why? It is because we don’t have go to other places to see. If we go to more different places to have an experience, we can see more in where we are living. Our Hong Kong is only a dirty place? Is it a busy place too? The answers of these questions you can find in this ‘Open air’ website. You can try it too!

Comment by Emily Tsang(1D32)

Sometimes I really think Hong Kong is very boring for the people who work everday. No weekend and just a little holiday. They don’t have time to discover more in Hong Kong. So I think we need to cherish our weekend. Don’t just stay in the home. Go out and attrack some fresh air from the nature.Also discover more Hong Kong’s culture. So that we won’t become a robot.

Comment by Thomas 2a 15

Hong Kong is a international metropolis. It is the first image that Hong Kong give. Beside, The living style is rather fast in Hong Kong. As I am a student, I also feel that I need to do the things quickly and faster. In Hong Kong, our lunch time maybe is 30 min-1 hour. However, in other city, the citizens can have 2 hours lunch. That’s why Hong Kong citizens usually feel full of pressure and tied.
Actually, Hong Kong is a beautiful island. We also can live with a green style. We can plant some flowers in our homes. We can go to countryside to enjoy fresh air at weekend instead of singing karaoke. Hong Kong is not jest a crowed and boring city, it has many small islands, beautiful countryside, peaceful villages…… Enjoy the nature, it can make us feel free.

Comment by Katie Ho(2A08)

The people who live in Hong Kong are very busy everyday. This kind of market called “Open Air” can help people become relax and make their living standard become better so I think that this type of market is very attractive and this is a feasible scheme.
On the other hand, I can see another side of Hong Kong that isn”t bored and it is more artistic and relaxtion.

Comment by Sam 2a 02

Hong Kong is a prosperous city. You can buy or do whatever you want. However, when live in this city for a long time you will feel bored. In addition, the citizens are very busy, they works every day. When they were at the weekend, they just did nothing, and just sleep, watch TV programmes or play computer games. Nevertheless, have they ever thought about living in a cosmopolitan lifestyle?

After I read this website-“Open Air Hong Kong”, I have known more about Hong Kong. It brings outdoor cosmopolitan lifestyle entertainment to the community of Hong Kong. They had set up four markets. In addition, different markets have different theme. It is suitable to every family.

I thought this ‘Open Air Hong Kong’ can let Hong Kong became more and more prosperous and crowed. In addition, we can learn more and to know more about others countries culture.

Comment by alice2a39

On Monday to Friday, students and employee are always busy. They work carefully and have a little rest time. However, everyone want to go out and relax at weekend. They just don’t know where they can find a way to relax their selves.
Actually, Hong Kong has many places for us. There are 40% of Hong Kong are country park. Why don’t we go out to breath some fresh air?

Comment by yeung 2c33

I did not know “Open air” before. I only know what is “Comic Market”. I would feel bored if I could not read comics. Sometimes, I would hate Hong Kong because I thought that there was not fun. However, this kind of market would bring us joy, isn’t it? Also, I may try to enjoy one day of the market. Maybe I will not think that it is boring.

Comment by JANO

HongKong is a beautiful place in the past. But the air pollution problem is very serious .IF we want to keep it just like the past. i think the government should do something .Grow more trees in the road. some places are very diffcult to see some trees in the road.

Comment by Katrina (2C 25)

I think that the Hong Kong people don’t know how to relax. They always work very hard to earn more money, but the important thing is they don’t know how to send them. The thing inside their mind is only “work”. Some of them also ignore their family or friendships. It makes their interpersonal relationship deteriorate. I think they should arrange their time properly to have their leisure time.

Comment by Pang Wing Yi 1D 28

I think Hong Kong is a beautful place.Although Hong Kong have many pollution,but have some place was very nice.For example:Victoia Harbour,hill and so on.Many goreigner want to go to Hong Kong to see the view.Just the website,have many goreigner to take the photo.Therefore,Hong Kong is very famous.Also,we need to keep our world clean because if we make the world very dirty.No one will love Hong Kong this place.So we need to keep clean.

Comment by Wong Ka Man1D35(Karen)

Hong Kong’s residents are too busy!Although It is Sunday,they still work!They don’t have much time to relax!It makes the people feel tired.They don’t know how to enjoy the free time!

I think the “Openair” website can gives us a lot of information for spending our leisure time!
It is useful!Actually,if we enjoy every beautiful place of Hong Kong,Our pressure can disappear soon.So,discover the nature of Hong Kong is interesting!

Comment by Erica,2a(29) - v -

Hong Kong is an international city. People in Hong Kong are always in busy and just take for a short rest in weekend. However, the short rest usually include the activity which is sleeping, watching TV. Hey! There are many meaningful places in Hong Kong, why don’t we take a rest there?
The open air is really a wonderful place for us. I don’t know any one of them before. However, after I surf this website, I think this is really wonderful!! The cinemas in Hong Kong are seems like a fridge. Watch movie in open air, you won’t feel cold, wonderful! Even raining, you will feel more terrible if you are watching the horror movie or you can have a more romantic feel if you are watching the love story! Spend your weekend in the open air is really a good choice!

Comment by Janice Wong

Hong Kong is a commercial city so that a lot of people as though machines. They only know go to work,work and work. They work hard because they want to earn a lot of money as much as they can so HK people don”t have any time to relax. I think HK in the weekends should have some activities, “Open Air” is a good suggestion! “Open Air” can help us to release and relax! Enjoy it!:D

Comment by Brian 2A26

I agree.Living in Hong Kong is really bored.In those working days,everybody are very busy.And also, no any artistic elements, so that not things that can make people relax.
But now, I saw the Open air website.Therefore I found that Open air can give more a choose to spend our own time, to let us relax, no matter are students, teachers or parents.
Hong Kong was called cultural city. There must be many good place for travelling in Hong Kong.One of the good place must be the nature in Hong Kong.What is the different betwwen foreign countries?I think that Hong Kong is a very very small place, but it can have a best nature view in this place, it is very perfect.Therefore think it is the difference between foreign countries.
Hong Kong citizens need to keep on enjoy this good places, and value them as your baby.

Comment by Calla in 2A (5)

Hong Kong is a economy country.A lot of people build the buliding for economy,just like factory,commercial building,etc.It makes Hong Kong has a serious air pollution.And a lot of people think that the air quality of Hong Kong is very bad.
But,beside the shortcoming of Hong Kong,other country’s people say Hong Kong “Pearl of the Orient”.As the night scene is more beatiful than other countries.
Lastly,I don’t think Hong Kong is a bored city.Hong Kong has a lot of good place for us to whiling away the time.Just like Ocean Park,Disneyland,etc.These all are good place!So I don’t agree with Hong Kong is a bored city.

Comment by Taurus(2C39)

Hong Kong is a small place and full of pressure.

Hong Kong people are really busy and they have many pressure, such as afraid of losing jobs. Especially during the economic downturn, their worry stepped up and everyone just cared about whatever the unemployment would come to them.Everyone were nervous about the matter of money and no one cares about entertainment.

So we need ‘Open air’. To go to the Pokfulam market or the Popup market, breath some flesh air, relax and relax. Put down your worry and feel the nature.

Comment by Jeffrey(2c 11)

Living in Hong Kong is really boring during Monday to Friday. Students need to go to school regular and do not have any leisure time. This makes students a big pressure in study and the society become more and more sad. We can not go to play since there are a lot of homework. This makes us become robots gradually. We will lose our feeling and can only do our jobs if continue this.
On the other hand, students are free in Saturdays and Sundays. We will feel happy and no pressure because we need not to go to school. We can play with our friends or dating with someone and so on. But the day after Sunday, we will become robots again.

Comment by Roger

In fact, Hong Kong is a bored city, many people work hard to earn many money. But beside that, do you have other things to do? The people work just like a cow, and some work at weekend as well. They don’t know what they should do if they had many money.
But in the other side of Hong Kong, it is very interesting and fun. And many different culture you can find. They are invaulable and special. You can have some activities their. So you will not live in the bored days and you can learn more. The ”Openair” has many information and I can explore more too.

Comment by Phoebe Tam ( 2A 32 )

Hong Kong is little city with tall buildings. Since it is a commerical city, people need to work hard for more and more they needed. Our wish is endless, so our critizen work and work for more. That makes our life become boring. However, sometimes at weekend, we can worked for our habit. Just do something we like. It is why we like holidays too much. Our student life is as same as the adult. We needed to work for tomorrow beautiful life. From Monday to Friday, we are doing something boring. For weekend, maybe we can go to the country side to have a different wide to look at this city. It can be beautiful too. Perhaps, living a cosmopolitan lifestyle is better for me.

Comment by Elaine2c35

I thnink Hong Kong is now doing many changes, a lot of nature things are being destoryed, such as fill out the sea and make ground, hill fire,these all destorying our nature! Hong Kong is going to be a concrete jungle,so try to use our weekend to watch the other side of Hong Kong,the wesite has introduced many good places of Hong Kong!

Comment by Chou ho yee 2a 04

The life style of Hong Kong’s people are working very fast, hard-working and these make Hong Kong people never let yourself to take a rest!Even at weekends, they are still working for their job!In fact, Hong Kong has many beautiful places that we never visit before.Click into the wesite and take a look!Let us use our weekend to visit these places!

Comment by Angela 2a 10

Hong Kong is an internetional financial center.This is the reason that the place are crowded.Although “Open Air” can relax the people who are working in Hong Kong but this is quite difficult to do it.Though this idea is diificult to finish but I support it and hope it will be finished.

Comment by 2c01 jacky

I think Living in Hong Kong is really bored.

Hong Kong is one of the famous cities in the world.People describe Hong Kong as a main center of international business in Asia.Therefore, people from all over the world travel to Hong Kong for working.

People in Hong Kong work hard but not care with relax or playing.Even students or adult, they only care with their job or homework, focus on their result.

I think it’s really a big burden.

Comment by yuk 2A 18

this is really making me angry!! I’ve already finished typing the comment and when i pressed the submit button, it says I forgot to type in my e-mail, and im not able proceed, so when i tried to get back to the last page and it lost all of the memories and i have to type it all over again!! it took me almost 20 mins to type!! AHHRR!!! I have no choice but type it all over again, and ive forgotten what i was going to say…I only remember part of them.

Hong Kong is a place with so many different people from different countries live together, they influence and learn from each other, which makes hong kong a better place to live and a better place to have an enjoyable life.
I love the outdoor theatre, that is so cool because it is going to be so fun and enjoyable to watch movies with fresh air and nice people around you.
I hope there will be more place like that in Hong Kong for people to relax and have some time to stay away from the work.

Comment by Mike Lo 2C 28

I think the one who need to work in Hong Kong will very busy. Hong Kong is a big city with many famous things. If you need to have a high position in society, you must work hard. so no more time to think how to have a nice holiday.

Really bored. But, can we change?
Maybe we can have a long holiday then you can relax a little bit time. If just a weekend , not enough.

Comment by Florence Tsang 2c ,34

Hong Kong, it is a financial city. There are a lot of people say that the index is decrease. In fact, Hong Kong has a lot of tall buildings such as “IFC”. It will become a commercial city. Although it is a famous, it is so bored to do these things. Some culture will be disappearand the tourists will not be went this city. This link is so interesting. I think we should do something old to learn the culture in the past. We shouldn’t only do the things for commerical although it is good to do.

Comment by Jason 2C (26)

Sometimes, I really felt dull of the crowded city life at weekends. However, I do not think live in Hong Kong is boring. Also, ‘openair’ let me know the other side of it.
I have a friend who is study overseas. She told me that she was bored. It is because few of activities can play in there. Hong Kong has more fun such as watch movie, sing karaoke etc. That’s why living in here is bliss. We should treasure and enjoy the life, not to complain it.=)

Comment by Kwok Ho Yiu Yoyo 2c(17)

Living in a cosmopolitan lifestyle city is good.
Hong Kong is a big city. It has different culture and things. It things that can represent Hong Kong is the food of Hong Kong. We can have many place to relax too.

Comment by Wong Hang Tat/.\

Hong Kong is a cluture that has many wonderful palce to visit and play. There has a lot of games and food in Hong Kong.It is also a financial city. There are a CDB in Hong Kong. So Hong Kong is a famous city. I like it.

Comment by ng woon ting 2c30

Although Hong Kong is small, there has a lot of places for us to went, Ocean Park, Disneyland, famous restaurant…In fact, I have never been to Disneyland, but i have been to Ocean Park many times. Ocean Park is very big that I cant walk though. Maybe I will go to other places that are Hong Kong famous and know more about Hong Kong.

Comment by wong hiu fu2c 36
