Brief Introduction
Some people call
Hong Kong a 'concrete jungle', Only those
who have never visited or enjoyed the local
countryside say so, for some forty percent
of the total land area is designated as
Country Parks. Each is in some ways
identical for all are 'part of nature';
while in other ways each of the 23 Country
Parks is quite different. Each has its green
story to tell. There are also six Special
Areas outside the Country Parks, where
visitors can experience the beauty of wild
country. Open to all, the Country Parks and
Special Areas reveal pristine nature, many
with historic and cultural remains. Visiting
the Country Parks offers, for young and old,
delightful outings.
