Crowded Coastlines: Hong Kong's Trailblazing Quota System Hong Kong authorities have introduced a quota system for visitors to the Po Pin Chau section of the High Island Geo Trail, capping daily numbers at 2,000 people during certain stretches and requiring real name registration.
This marks a significant departure from the city's laissez faire approach to tourism, where visitor numbers were once seen as a benchmark of success.
The Po Pin Chau trail's popularity is understandable – its stunning hexagonal rock columns draw in crowds worldwide.
