      High ridges, sparkling waterfalls, lush feng shui woods and ancient fishing communities nestled in rocky harbours. Your mind refreshed, your limbs exercised, and your senses intoxicated, you wonder at the fact that only a few miles separate all this from one of the world s most crowded cities. And you marvel at the speed with which you have stepped outside the boundaries of that metropolis into this revitalizing landscape.

      By any measure, Hong Kong is an impressive city. But there is a world beyond the impatient traffic and chic shopping malls: an older place of soot-blackened temples, traditional street markets and colonial-era museums. Travel twenty minutes out of the metropolis, and you'll find stone-laid trails, sheltered beaches and waterfront restaurants galore. Bring your camera, but leave the camping gear at home. The 40 guided walks in this book are quickly reached from public transport, and can be completed in an afternoon - leaving ample time for a leisurely hike to be followed by leisurely dinner. Let this guide show you how close these attractions are to your front door. An unhurried journey of discovery starts here.
