New Territories

There's a village house in Sam A Tsuen, on the coast of the northeast New Territories, that has become a small restaurant and hostel for hikers. It's a great place to halt for a meal while hiking through the area, such as following a route through Lai Chi Wo, but is also a top place for an overnight stay, and can be reached by an easy and very pleasant hike.

The Sai Kung Peninsula (西貢半島) is, on the map, like a giant, stubby hand thrust into the sea. Though larger than Hong Kong Island, it is little inhabited, with few roads and villages.

Tin Shui Wai station is the starting poing of Hong Kong's first heritage trail, along which you can see fine buildings including Hong Kong's only historic pagoda.

The Northeast New Territories Island Hopping Tour is a boat ride through Tolo Harbour, to Double Haven, and back via Tap Mun. Includes some otherwise hard to reach places.

The northeast New Territories encompasses some of Hong Kong's wildest landscapes, with hills cut by a myriad valleys, and inlets and headlands facing towards Double Haven (印洲塘), Mirs Bay.
