Brief Introduction
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. The region abounds in previous natural resources and rich cultural heritage, as well as spellbinding scenery, making them worth exploring and preserving. "Discovering East New Territories" introduces the features of the region from a diversified and profound perspective and is intended to help readers appreciate the fascinating landscapes and cultural heritage in the eastern New Territories and enjoy the endless fun of country excursions.
