On this show, we first looked into a trial reservation system that will be implemented in Po Pin Chau in Sai Kung from September 5 to October 7. How will this better manage visitor numbers and flow during Mid-Autumn festival and the National Day Golden Week?
Then, we learned all about the annual 828 JoyYou Fest that will kick-off tomorrow to encourage local spending and social engagement among senior citizens.
After the break, the vice president of the Hong Kong Metropolitan University told us about the institution's first student accommodation, which is one of the first fully converted student hostels under a government scheme.
And finally, we spoke with a professor to find out more about a survey on food assistance programmes for grassroots families.
