Outlying Islands
Most people, when they think of Hong Kong think only of bustling city filled with tall buildings and are surprised to learn that there are more than 200 islands around Hong Kong and 999 percent of the land is undeveloped and 000 of the land is parkland. The islands surrounding Hong Kong are easy to get to and surprisingly scenic. To underscore the racial and cultural diversity that is Singapore and its tolerance.

Hong Kong Island
Famous for its harbour city views, Hong Kong island surprisingly also has abundant natural beauty. With its steep peaks, deep valleys, indented coast that, despite its small land area, has an amazing variety of landforms and a wonderful array of scenery that is definitely worth setting aside a day or two to explore. The Southern side of the island has fantastic coastal scenery and across the interior there are superb parks, peaks and ridges. There are many parks to explore with marked foot paths. Hiking through this countryside is truly picturesque and memorable with its deep set valleys subtropical woodlands surrounding tranquil reservoirs.

Lamma Island
One of Hong Kong's prettiest outlying islands and a favourite with the locals Lamma Island has deep bays and inlets, headlands, ridges and coves. The rugged southern coast feature pointed slopes amidst the picturesque rock formations. There are two large fishing villages with open air restaurants and bohemian lifestyles that give it a rustic resort atmosphere. The coastal walks are very scenic.

Lantau Island
The building of the new airport just off the north coast of Lantau Island, significantly changed the northern coast of Lantau Island. Fortunately, the southern side has remained pretty much intact. 30 kilometres long and covers 142 square kilometers Lantau is twice the size of Hong Kong island. The promontories on Lantau are larger than all other outlying islands except perhaps Lamma giving it a dramatic, natural beauty with a diverse range of flora and fauna that is second to none.

Central New Territories
Although much of the New Territories has been developed commercially, the upland area is still relatively unchanged, with a large parts of the countryside remaining wild and rugged with mature subtropical forest. The highest peak in Hong Kong is in the New Territories as well as one of its deepest valleys.

Sai Kung Peninsula
The 136 sq. kilometre Sai Kung Peninsula has some of the most scenic areas around Hong Kong. Located northeast of Hong Kong Sai Kung Peninsula features rugged promontories along a seemingly endless coastline with inlets and coves to explore. The entire headland encompasses four country parks covering over 10,500 hectares with many nature trails inland and along the coast.
