The Drainage Services Department began installing these artistic manhole covers around the city in 2022. The covers showcase various designs that call on the area's unique characteristics and landmarks. For example, the manhole cover in Tai Wai features a white egret, while in Tsuen Wan, you can find a charming depiction of red-whiskered bulbuls and a squirrel. Meanwhile, at Central Ferry Pier, the cover sees landmarks such as the Star Ferry, Victoria Harbour, and Victoria Peak.
