The New Territories, which stretch between the outer hills of Kowloon and Hong Kong’s boundary with Mainland China, are a diverse part of Asia’s world city that are mostly rural and sometimes urban. Well described as ‘the land between’, they are a scenic fusion of traditional customs and modern trends, of natural wonders and man-made achievements. The tour will allow you to see another side of Hong Kong and it stands both as a gentle reminder of Hong Kong's past as well as a symbol of its hopes and dreams for the future.
