KUALA LUMPUR, June 24 (Bernama) — Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) has initiated a series of uniquely soothing sensory videos created under the 360 Hong Kong Moments, which have managed to capture and bottle the city’s auditory essence into highly immersive and pleasurable viewing experiences.

According to a statement, this summer, Hong Kong’s great outdoors will be very much within reach to those who reside abroad.

A highlight of the Great Outdoors Hong Kong (GOHK) 2021-2022 summer campaign, four distinctly themed Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) videos will each feature 30-second snapshots of dreamy environmental acoustics heard in far-flung corners of the city.

The videos are designed to stimulate the senses and heighten one’s sensitivity to the harmonic countryside symphonies, just a stone’s throw from the city.

ASMR in Peng Chau invokes a ship’s horn, a temple’s chimes and the hypnotic kau cim (shaking of fortune sticks), while swaying leaves, dripping waterfalls, chirping birds and flapping wings angle for attention in ASMR in Shing Mun Reservoir.

Both calming and provoking, the video series stars curious individuals exploring the outskirts of Hong Kong through a hyper-focused lens, and culminates in a three-minute magnum opus, bringing all the contrasting elements together into one beautifully euphoric whole.

The ASMR videos form part of the broader GOHK summer campaign, which will also showcase 13 seasonal routes, covering hiking and sightseeing destinations, island-hopping itineraries and water sports experiences.

The entire Great Outdoors Hong Kong 2021-2022 campaign is hosted on its own dedicated campaign website, and is packed to the brim with useful information, like insider tips, dining recommendations and transportation suggestions.

On top of the signature ASMR vignettes, the site features a colourful mix of photos, written itineraries and 13 videos-for-beginners, offering an overview and en route experiences about each seasonal route to inspire future trips.

Earth Wind & Power (EWP) announced today a solid ESG solution for powering datacenters by utilizing excess energy from wind, solar and gas to cater for the increased computing power demand - without any negative impact on existing grids.

OSLO, Norway, June 16 (Bernama) -- With this new practice EWP creates a long-awaited sustainable bridge between the excess power in the energy industry and the power deficiency in the High Performance Computing (HPC) datacenter industry while maintaining strong ESG-standards. Earth Wind & Power`s modular HPC datacenters utilize the most energy-efficient technologies worldwide.

The company positions scalable modular datacenter units at local power production facilities around the world. The excess energy on the site is then utilized for HPC when no other offtake is commercially viable, or when demand and energy prices are low.

The EWP-solution can be deployed in extremely hot climates without compromising the service levels and can provide financial incentives to initiate new renewable projects which otherwise wouldn’t be financially viable.

The CEO, Former Norwegian Minister of National Public Security and Deputy Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Ingvil Smines Tybring-Gjedde, states that: “I am proud to lead a company with strong ESG standards that is taking use of the excess energy available to power the exponentially growing demand for data processing.”

EWP is currently collaborating with several energy companies to enhance their ESG-footprint by finding solutions for their excess energy.

EWP is founded by pioneers from wind and solar industries and international E&P of which several are listed at the Oslo Stock Exchange.
