Hong Kong hides many lesser-known sites beyond its skyscrapers and shopping centers. The city is home to 19th-century Buddhist temples such as Kwun Yum Temple in Hung Hom, traditional Chinese gardens like Nan Lian Garden in Diamond Hill covering 35,000 square meters, and historic mansions like King Yin Lei from 1937 with its red brick roofs and glazed tiles. The abandoned Hakka villages of Kuk Po near the Chinese border and heritage trails like Lung Yeuk Tau in Fanling reflect the region's rural history. The islands and natural areas reveal another aspect of the territory. Tap Mun Island hosts a small fishing community and a Buddhist monastery in the eastern waters. Hoi Ha Wan Marine Park in Sai Kung protects over 60 coral species and 120 fish species. Sha Lo Tung Valley in Tai Po is home to more than 500 butterfly species among abandoned rice paddies. These sites offer an alternative to urban life and allow visitors to discover Hong Kong's natural and cultural heritage.
