See GREEN Go GREEN 。 Travelogue Contest 2026
Hong Kong is a densely populated metropolis. Yet, within this bustling city, numerous picturesque public green spaces are awaiting our discovery and appreciation. With enthusiastic participation in last year's " See GREEN Go GREEN 。Travelogue Contest ", the Greening, Landscape, and Tree Management Section (GLTMS) of the Development Bureau is glad to present the 2026 edition of the contest, which invite students to actively explore public greening resources of Hong Kong and deepen their understanding of our urban natural landscape.
This year's contest will be in line with the content of the documentary series 森動香港 and the GLTMS’s publication “Tree and Landscape Map” to guide students to visit public green spaces, such as parks or waterfront promenades, etc., and create a guided tour travelogue. With both texts and graphical drawings/photographs, students act as tour guide to design a tour route map to highlight the landscape features — including attractions, featured plants and trees within the green space. Through this contest, students will gain a better understanding of landscape design and greening elements, and appreciate how urban trees and greenery help mitigate climate change, improve our living quality, and support sustainable development.

- Format : The Tour Route Map shall be designed using drawings or photographs, accompanied by textual explanations.

See GREEN Go GREEN 。 Travelogue Contest 2025
Hong Kong is a densely populated metropolis that features many beautiful outdoor public green spaces in the urban areas, as well as distinctive seasonal urban forests. To encourage students to appreciate and learn more about these local outdoor green spaces, the Greening, Landscape, and Tree Management Section (GLTMS) of the Development Bureau has organised the “See GREEN Go GREEN 。 Travelogue Contest”, allowing students through noting down their observations and experience with their creativity in the form of a travelogue during their visits to these green spaces, deepening their appreciation, knowledge and understanding on the landscape designs and greening elements in Hong Kong.
Contest Theme: “Moments of Joy: Living in Harmony with Landscapes and Trees”
Landscape and trees are essential components of urban development, offering not only soothing greenery but also contributing significantly to the making of a liveable city. Hosted by the Greening, Landscape and Tree Management Section of the Development Bureau, this photography and short video contest encourages participants to capture the intimate moments, feeling, and life tidbits experienced within our urban green spaces. Through the mediums of photography or short video, let's savour the exquisite beauty of our urban forests and promote a community that thrives in harmony with nature.
Gen sir - the professional photographer also demonstrates a few tricks in shooting through two workshops, to make your shooting skills more proficient.

Bus Banner Advertising Design – Primary School Category
Gold
Name: CHAN Yat Kiu (ELCHK Lutheran School)
Design Concept (Chinese Version Only) :
我的設計概念是利用幾個樹木保育員和中間一個大型木吊牌，突出「樹木有風險 記緊做年檢」這口號，來提醒大眾對樹木要每年都要檢查的重要性。
Silver
Name: CHIU Tung Kayley (Good Hope Primary School Cum Kindergarten (Primary Section))
Design Concept (Chinese Version Only) :
人老了便容易多病痛，大樹年紀大了也會容易生病，所以要定期做檢查及悉心照顧它，否則倒下便會傷及途人。我畫了一個樹木醫生，定期為樹木檢查，保障樹木安全。
Bronze
Name: Lincoln CHIU (La Salle Primary School)
Design Concept (Chinese Version Only) :
是次創作以樹木為『醫生』作重點及主體。天空的背景，帶出環保、自然。字體重於「樹木」、「年檢」作設計，「樹木」以植物 — 綠色及棕色搭配， 「年檢」為警示 — 紅色帶出嚴謹性。最後樹藤將全部元素關聯起來，燈泡作提示。從而完成這個巴士橫額設計。
Bus Banner Advertising Design – Secondary School Category
Gold
Name: CHAU Suet Yi (STFA Cheung Yu Tung Secondary School)
Design Concept (Chinese Version Only) :
作品使用蠟筆上色，像童話故事書般營造和諧快樂感覺。此外，配色使用樹木顏色，配合大自然，讓人感到舒服。時鐘代表時間，樹木隨著時間流逝，會跟人類一樣成長和老化。畫中兩人代表物業業主及合資格樹藝師，鼓勵他們一同參與檢查樹木工作。
Silver
Name: LAU Ka On (Yan Chai Hospital Lim Por Yen Secondary School)
Design Concept (Chinese Version Only) :
政府積極實踐綠化理念，在擠迫的市區營造更多綠化空間，樹木風險管理是重要的一環。我運用活潑及鮮明的色彩設計，簡潔易明的風格，讓訊息能更有效地傳遞給社會大眾。鼓勵香港市民多為樹木做年檢，愛護我們的環境。
Bronze
Name: LAU Yang Tung (HKWMA Chu Shek Lun Secondary School)
Design Concept (Chinese Version Only) :
每個人都希望可以在安全舒適的環境下生活，可是無可避免，大自然的環境會為我們帶來一定的風險。我的作品以對比和比喻的手法，以兩個雀鳥家庭的不同遭遇，反映出樹木做年檢的重要性，如果不做年檢，會有嚴重的後果。

Name:CHEUNG Hiu Ying Savine (THEi)
Design Concept (Chinese Version Only) :
樹木修剪比喻成定期剪頭髮，樹木鞏固如同人骨折時需打石膏，加樹木的滅蟲如幫樹木洗澡。希望市民能夠更加多的同理心，把樹木也看作人，他們也需要定期做身體檢查。我們絕對有義務好好地照顧和愛護每一顆樹，因為他們都是有生命的。
