The final part of my HK photo tour is of the New Territories and Islands. I didn't dedicate much time to check out these parts of the city, which is why I missed out many important New Towns such as Shatin, Tuen Mun, Yuen Long, etc.

On my ride into the city after initial arrival.

Cheung Po Tsai Cave. Hideout for famous pirate in the 1800's.

Another famous spot on the island is the Reclining Rock.

Beach at the southside of the island. Looks completely empty here because it was in February (15 degrees or so)

The vacation houses along the coast are available for rent during summer. Must be so much fun exploring the island and vacationing here overnight.

The narrow pedestrian streets in Cheung Chau are filled with just about everything you would need to live a simple life here.

New developments, including a new hotel tower above the MTR station.

Tseung Kwan O sports stadium.

I believe the development background (far right) is LOHAS Park.

Tsuen Wan

http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5213/5533055682_bc1b9555c0_b.jpg


This new part of the Tsuen Wan area reminded me of Shenzhen or other newer Chinese cities because of the wide streets/sidewalks.

http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5131/5533067140_543b9d3045_b.jpg


Italian/Japanese fusion cuisine with plastic display dishes. Very common through HK.

It was very difficult finding a vantage point to get a good picture of Nina Tower, especially on this foggy day.

Older section of Tsuen Wan.

http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5056/5533068314_5e0da29db0_b.jpg


This part reminded me of Manhattan's Chinatown. With similar size buildings, large crowds, open markets selling groceries and all kind of goods, and immigrants.
