Dear Planning Department,

Thank you for your reply.

Sorry I did not make my request clear.

The data I want is "Digital Topographic Map iB1000". I have search on the government website about this dataset, but it seems like I need to download over 1000 data file one by one on https://www.hkmapservice.gov.hk/OneStopS..., and it would be rather troublesome to do so.

Could you provide me the complete dataset of Hong Kong's Digital Topographic Map iB1000? Regarding the format, could you provide me all the formats (FGDB, DWG, DGN, GML and GeoTIFF formats) that are available?
If not, please provide FGDB and GeoTIFF format.

Yours faithfully,
Xinying TAN
