From Tai Mo Shan, Hong Kong’s tallest mountain, to Mai Po Marsh, a protected wetland home to hundreds of birds, to the famous racecourse in Sha Tin, the greenness of the New Territories is highly refreshing. If it’s your first time to the territories, you’ll get the most out of your day with a guided
tour. Alternatively, venture out on your own with the MTR system, which covers most of the major points in the New Territories (it runs as far as Tsuen Wan in the west and north up to Sheung Shui, the last stop before the boundary with China). From Central, the journey to both destinations takes around 60 minutes. The following website provides a helpful guide to the territory’s highlights: http://www.discoverhongkong.com/eng/mustknow/maps/index.jhtml
Starts 7 miles north of Hong Kong Island; 60 minutes to both Sheung Shui and Tsuen Wan from Central Hong Kong
