Hong Kong's Outlying Islands

............................................................................................................................

 

Hong Kong’s Outlying Islands is where the real magic of Hong Kong is uncovered, an inheritance which brings Hong Kong in line with its apparently more traditional neighbours. On the islands are ancient villages, little fishing communities and monasteries. Although the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong is about 150 years old, archaeologists has ascertained that man has been living around this area for close to 6,000 years. 

"Progress" is ending ten centuries of pastoral life here as roads are paved and telephone and electricity services are installed. Soaring property values have also brought land developers to the islands, those wished to build large bug luxury housing developmend and those who have a stake in the visitor industry.
