The New Territories
Many people fly in and out of Hong Kong without even realizing that the Special Administrative Region comprises anything more than the city itself. However, the New Territories, a thirty-kilometre-deep swath between Kowloon and the Guangdong border, comes complete with country parks, beautiful coastlines, farming communities and craggy mountains – as well as booming New Towns. A whole series of designated country parks includes the unspoilt Sai Kung Peninsula to the east, offering excellent walking trails and secluded beaches.

Access into the New Territories is straightforward. The KCR trains connect the area with Kowloon, and there are numerous buses.
