Kowloon is the place to find specialist street markets selling everything from clothes and flowers to goldfish and jade. These markets offer great value with a unique Hong Kong ambience and a real slice of local life.

Beyond the hills of Kowloon, lies the New Territories. Much of the land here remains undeveloped. It is dotted with ancient villages, vegetable farms, heritage sites and fish ponds. Scenic coastlines and ranges of hills have been preserved within Hong Kong's network of 23 country parks, three marine parks and one marine reserve. The best way to get your bearings in Kowloon and the New Territories is by joining a tour.
