Area Information: 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 of Hong Kong 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 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. Sham Tseng and The Three Bridges Area Sham Tseng is a coastal area in Tsuen Wan District, Hong Kong, between Ting Kau and Tsing Lung Tau. In 1982, the Government launched a new town project for the area. There were proposals for a massive housing scheme, where the population of the village, then estimated at 6,000, was set to increase dramatically to 50,000 people. There would be an additional 26,000 in public housing, Home Ownership Scheme flats, Government offices and other amenities constructed on 47 hectares of land .Starting in the 1990s, more and more private housing estates were built in the area for its spectacular view of Tsing Ma Bridge over Ma Wan Channel. It is linked to many other parts of Hong Kong by buses and mini-buses. Sham Tseng is famous for roasted goose and they can be found at various restaurants in the area: Leung Kee Roast Duck Restaurant Sham Tseng Chan Kee Roasted Goose Sham Tseng Yue Kee Roast Goose Restaurant And The Foo Kee Roast Goose and Duck Restaurant. The Tsing Ma Gigantic Bridge stretching from Tsing Yi Isle to Ma Wan (Bay), 22,000 meters long, is the longest suspension bridge for both vehicle and railway purposes in the world. It was open to traffic in 1997, linking Landau Island and the urban districts. Parking is prohibited on the Tsing Ma Gigantic Bridge. The Tsing Yi Trunkroute Viewing Terrace to the northwest of Tsing Yi Isle and the Visiting Guest Centre are places for watching and familiarizing with the Tsing Ma Gigantic Bridge with entertainment. The model, pictures and the structure of the Tsing Yu trunkroute are on display in the Visiting guest Centre. From the Scenery Viewing Terrace, one can see the Ting Kau Bridge, Linking Tsing Yi and Tsuen Wun, totaling 1178 metres long, the longest triplex-towered shape cable bridge of the world. Linking Tsing Yi and Lantau's transportation, another bridge known as Kap Shui Man Bridge, 1670 meters long, is also the longest hoisting cabled bridge providing for both vehicle traffic and railway transportation. These three bridges have been listed as the world's "Three Mosts". The expenditure for the engineering construction of the three bridges is also an astronomical figure. Testimonials: Good Day Koo! I too agree wholeheartedly with Cheri. What an awesome experience. Hong Kong was much more than I expected. It was fantastic! Your apartment and location were ideal...the view spectacular! Ben was the perfect host; great advice; prompt pickup; polite; explained everything about the apartment. I spoke to a few people traveling to HKG on business. They seemed impressed with our lodging situation. If you don't already, perhaps you should try to advertise to the business population. I'm sure for a longer stay in HKG, an apartment setting would be more to the traveling businessman's liking. A home away from home! As Cheri mentioned, having Ben meet us at the airport and arrange for travel from airport to apartment was huge. Arriving in HKG tired and totally unfamiliar with our surroundings, Ben was a huge asset. I felt like we were in competent, safe hands. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. I will definitely promote your accommodation to anyone traveling to HKG for whatever reason or length of time.
