The KCR's extensive East Rail and West Rail networks offer an exceptional opportunity to discover the historical roots of Kowloon and the New Territories. You'll travel in comfort from Hong Kong's renowned Tsim Sha Tsui, the modern bustling commercial and cultural hub of Kowloon, to the far-flung reaches of the New Territories where the pace of life is slower and where you can glimpse a more rural Hong Kong.

Enjoy the hustle and the bustle, the culture and heritage, and the green and stunning vistas of the New Territories – and come away with a better understanding and appreciation of what a phenomenal place Hong Kong is.

This guide has been compiled with the invaluable assistance of Dr Patrick Hase, Immediate Past President of the Royal Asiatic Society Hong Kong Branch and Honorary Adviser to the Museum of History. Choose any of these walks and you will discover the amazing depth and diversity of Hong Kong's heritage and culture.
