Brief
Introduction
Hong
Kong is known as one of the world great cities, unforgettable
for its busy streets and towering skyscrapers. Many
visitors never see more than this. In fact, the urban
areas cover less than one-fifth of Hong Kong total land
area. WhatÕs in the rest? A big part of the answer
is country parks. Country Parks cover about 40% of Hong
Kong, conserving the nature and landscape of the countryside.
They provide a totally different feel - relaxed, green,
quiet and calm.
This Venturing Hong Kong Country Parks reveals Hong
Kong best kept secret, and not only among visitors.
One can easily find local residents who have never set
foot in the country parks beyond a roadside barbecue
site. Their loss is your gain - the secluded beauty
and the sense of freedom obtainable in the Country Parks
is hard to match in Hong Kong.
