The
Central New Territories boasts diverse natural settings
of unique character and appeal ? Tai Mo Shan, Hong Kong's
highest point, has an arresting aura; the sheer slopes
of Needle Hill and Grassy Hill, albeit lesser in height,
are equally compelling; the green trail that meanders
deep into Tai Po Kau opens up a secret world of abundant
wildlife; while the wooded Shing Mun valley, with its
placid reservoir, never fails to charm. To complement
all this are forest streams, gullies, and ravines, offset
by rushing cascades that shoot down from great heights.
Every piece of this lovely country has its own magic.
The diverse beauty is simply dazzling. At the change
of seasons, valleys and slopes stage the most stunning
show of colours. In this dynamic natural domain, you
can indulge in all sorts of leisure activities. For the
fit and energetic, there are summits to conquer and breathtaking
vistas to enjoy. For the average weekend hiker, MacLehose
Trail that snakes around the wild parts of Hong Kong
is a wonderful choice. Alternatively, take a stroll along
the many hill trails for an invigorating experience of
the great outdoors. The country is a place for all ages.
So bring the whole family and enjoy a day out in this
picturesque region of the territory. The central New
Territories has a wide range of scenic attractions, from
grand and rugged mountain ranges to idyllic deep valley
habitats. Seemingly remote yet always within easy travel
distance, these natural settings are memorable and welcoming.
This collection of picture cards show some splendid examples
