Brief
Introduction
The Eastern
District is well known for its crowded, dynamic urban
areas. There are major residential areas, key commercial
complexes and powerful industrial centres. Together
these provide the essential lifeblood of the Eastern
District urban areas. But there is other life as well,
quietly continuing with its own existence-cut off
from the city. Into this beautiful area the Eastern
District people come for recreation and relaxation-joined.
These
distances highlight the sheer size of the Eastern
District countryside. By Hong Kong standards, it is
no small area! But what does this region have? What
are its natural features? How significant are its
flora and fauna? And so, most importantly, what does
it offer for people? The answers to those questions
are the story of this book.
