The Hong Kong / Hong Kong Island region
Hong Kong has firmly established an image as a metropolitan powerhouse. Though renowned as a bustling port, a behemoth of business and a mecca for rabid shoppers, Hong Kong offers alluring rustic destinations outside its urban core.
On the peninsula across Victoria Bay from the island of Hong Kong, skyscrapers give way to lush, hilly farmland and peaceful fishing villages in the New Territories. Bordering mainland China, the area is known as "the land between," a name that depicts its history and character, as much as its geography.
Retreat from the city
Although one-third of Hong Kong's population lives in spiffy, planned communities springing up in the New Territories, the area provides many opportunities for respite from urban sprawl. For about $36 (U.S.), the Hong Kong Tourist Association offers a day-long bus tour that offers a glimpse of the New Territories' scenic beauty.
Perhaps nowhere does the hyperkinetic pace of city life seem further away than in the quiet temples that dot the countryside. The Buddhist and Taoist traditions of Hong Kong's ethnic Chinese majority are rooted deeply in rural areas. At temples, the air is thick with the fragrance of incense. Worshipers light three sticks of incense -- one each for the earth, the heavens, and humankind. It's believed that the rising smoke carries prayers and wishes to the heavens.
A visit to Tai Mo Shan ("Big Misty Mountain") might offer an advantage, in that department. At 3, 144 feet, Hong Kong's highest point brushes the clouds and provides a stunning panorama of the region's rugged beauty. On a clear day, visitors can see China's Deep Bay (Hau Hoi) to the east.
Along the coast
The region's rocky coastline harbors a slew of tiny fishing villages. The Hong Kong Tourist Authority bus tour stops in one, where the Tanka Boat People -- descendants of the New Territories' original inhabitants -- continue the daily routine of centuries of fishermen before them.
Fresh fish are among the many goods available at a traditional rural market in Luen Wo. Determined tourists can try bargaining with the vendors for chicken, vegetables and rice. It's a far cry from the high-powered haggling that drives Hong Kong's economy today, and another reminder of the New Territories' place between lands and eras.
The New Territories' neighbor and the proprietor lies about a mile away from another stop on the bus tour, a bird sanctuary. It's the closest many tourists will ever come to elegant egrets -- or to China. For many of them, seeing a border-crossing on the way to the sanctuary is a thrill, in light of the 10 year since the handover of this scenic land and the unanswered questions about what will become of the people and places they have seen.
Globe Trekker: Hong Kong
Presenter: Megan McCormick
They are countries inextricably linked to their massive neighbour, full of eastern traditions yet inspiring in their modernity; Megan McCormick goes in search of places forging forward into the twenty-first century, China's 'little dragons' Hong Kong.
Mindful of her budget in one of the world's most expensive cities, Megan checks in at Hong Kong's infamous Chungking Mansions and finds that it's actually pretty good value for money. Taking a trip from mainland Kowloon to Central on the Star Ferry which carries 100,000 people per day, Megan gets to grips with the combination of traditional and modern with an exploration of the theories of feng shui which governed the construction of some of the skyscrapers in its impressive skyline. After a ride along the world's longest escalator she takes the Peak Tram to the top of Victoria Peak for some fantastic views of the city.
Megan goes to Wong Kai Fin Temple, devoted to the art of fortune telling and one of Hong Kong's most popular temples. Here she follows the traditional visits a fortune-teller who tells her that, as a child of the year of the Rat, she shouldn't gamble. Still, at Happy Valley Racecourse in the centre of the city she has a flutter on the horses, a pastime that the Hong Kongese are particularly partial to. As foretold, she loses and to commiserate she hits the town in style at the city's trendiest club, Dragon Eyes.
For a break from the city, Megan travels into the New Territories, to the island of Tap Mum Chau, stopping off in Lin Village to make a wish at the Wishing Tree. The island is a real breath of rural Hong Kong, giving you an idea of what the city used to be like - just a string of fishing villages. For a complete contrast, she crosses the border to the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone where cheap imports of Chinese goods and a flagrant disregard for piracy laws make for a truly indulgent shopping spree.
The next morning she's back on Kowloon's waterfront for an early morning group tai chi lesson from a plugged in master of the martial art. Inspired, she meets Bruce Law, one of Hong Kong's legendary movie stunt men and gets to star in her very own action movie. Then it's off to another mainstay of Hong Kong, Sam's Tailor, established in 1957. Since then it's clothed some of the world's most famous people including Bill Clinton and Luciano Pavarotti.
After all that she needs to take a break and heads for City Hall, the place for Hong Kong's lunch of choice, dim sum. Revitalised, she heads for Shek O for a spot of paragliding; then it's over to the picturesque Lantau Island to marvel at the world's biggest, sitting, bronze, outdoor Buddha at the Po Lin Monastery.

Guestbook
Testimony from our recent guest.................
Hello Mr Yuen,
Great to hear from you and thank you so much for everything you and Ben did to make our family reunion a sucess. We really had a great time and enjoyed the apartment and facilities at the Aqua Blue. It was perfect.
We enjoyed the awesome views over the bay and shipping channel, it was relaxing and had a vacation feel to it. We learnt to master the Hong Kong public transport system, which was so efficient! We did a heap of the touristy things like cruise the harbour, go to the peak, shopping, etc... and also some non-touristy things like taking the kids kite flying...we had a stroke of luck in that some lovely Hong Kong man took pity on our feeble efforts to fly a kite and actually taught us how to...Brilliant! We flew the kites out near the local flea market, which we also really enjoyed. The children liked the game where they could catch gold fish with a net.
The facilities at the apartment were great and we appreciated how organized everything was. If ever you have potential clients who ask for feedback from somewho who has stayed at Aqua Blue we would be happy to do so.
Ben was absolutely great! We called him a number of times to ask him about local things and he was always really helpful.
So thanks again for everything, and we will definitely be repeat clients when we return to Hong Kong.
Best Regards
Dale
