Brief Introduction

Hikers often think a small territory like Hong Kong has little to offer, and it does not take long to see all there is to see. But hiking should never be restricted by boundaries, for all borders and barriers are purely self constraints. To really get to know Hong Kong, our home, the first step is to abandon the misconception that it is too small to be fascinating. The truth is, this barely noticeable speck on the map has enough substance to give us a lifetime of pleasure. This book presents 12 routes for studying landmarks. Together they represent a wide cross section of Hong Kong terrain features. From the distant Chi Ma Wan to Tung Ping Chau. Landmark Excursions takes you on an eye-opening journey. There are more to come, such as stunning rock pillars near the High Island Reservoir east dam. They are neat arrays of hexagonal molten rock. Standing witness to the infi nite passage of time, these pillars are products of planet Earth’s natural forces. Understanding how these outlandish rocks came to being, you can appreciate them from an alternative perspective on your next visit.
