New batch of signature tourism projects / Heritage Fiesta 2026 / JC Nature Love Early Childhood Education Programme / Recent rise in hand, foot and mouth disease

On this programme, we first look into the government's latest batch of the tourism hotspot projects, which showcase Hong Kong's unique cultural heritage and landscape starting this fourth quarter.

Then, the Commissioner for Heritage tells us more about this year's Heritage Fiesta which will take members of the public to 12 spots across the Northern Metropolis, where people can explore declared monuments and graded historic buildings that tell the story of the area’s past.

After the break, we tell you about a promising new programme that aims to foster the development of early childhood with nature-based education.. 

And finally, we chat with a doctor to learn more about hand, foot and mouth  disease after the government warned of a significant increase in local activity.
