The Chinese phase "山水" (mountain and water) implies nature scenery in the country and is an apposite description of the terrains in Hong Kong. In the East New Territories, in particular, the magnificent Ma On Shan, the traversing Pat Sin Leng and the towering Tai Mo Shan as backdrop to the serene, lake-like Tolo Harbour and the glittering Tolo Channel from an enchanting landscape painting.
