New Territories are a rich tapestry of scenic beauty with splendid beaches, coastal hiking trails, farmland, monasteries, temples, heritage monuments, and deep sense of history. Development has divided the New Territories into three segments: the center, western, and eastern. The center is dominated by new towns like Sha Tin and Tai Po and is the main route by road and rail up to China. The western end is being recreated by infrastructure projects that are linked with the new airport at Chek Lap Kok on Lantau. The east, on the other hand, is where the New Territories most traditional character endures. |
