The New Territories reveal a quieter, greener side of Hong Kong, with forested hills, peaceful coastlines, and more than 260 outlying islands. In Sai Kung, known as the city’s back garden, visitors can hike scenic trails, kayak across clear waters, snorkel among coral reefs, or take boat trips to secluded beaches and sea caves.
