New Territories, Administrative region in Hong Kong, China

The New Territories encompass 86.2 percent of Hong Kong's total area, including both urban developments and extensive natural landscapes across 952 square kilometers.

In 1898, the Qing Dynasty leased this northern region to British authorities for 99 years through the Second Convention of Beijing.

The region maintains indigenous villages where residents practice traditional customs, conduct festivals, and preserve ancestral buildings dating back centuries.

An extensive public transportation network of trains and buses connects the nine districts of New Territories with central Hong Kong.

The area contains Tai Mo Shan, Hong Kong's highest peak, along with more than 200 surrounding islands including Lantau and Lamma.
