Brief
Introduction
Hong
Kong is known as one of the world great cities,
unforgettable for its busy streets and towering
skyscrapers. Many visitors never see more than
this. In fact, the urban areas cover less than
one-fifth of Hong Kong total land area. What³s
in the rest? A big part of the answer is country
parks. Country Parks cover about 40% of Hong
Kong, conserving the nature and landscape of
the countryside. They provide a totally different
feel - relaxed, green, quiet and calm.
This Venturing Hong Kong Country Parks reveals
Hong Kong best kept secret, and not only among
visitors. One can easily find local residents
who have never set foot in the country parks
beyond a roadside barbecue site. Their loss
is your gain - the secluded beauty and the sense
of freedom obtainable in the Country Parks is
hard to match in Hong Kong.
