Best Natural Attractions in Hong Kong

There is a long association between the British and the Cantonese dating back to when Hong Kong was under British rule. Due to the good terms on which the island was handed back to China, there is still a good Hong Kongrelationship between the two countries which ensures that you will receive a warm welcome here. For such a small island there is much to keep the visitor entertained, and below are some of the best natural attractions to enjoy on your visit.
Deep Water Bay - This glorious bay offers some of the best views on the island. The beach here, whilst not overrun with tourists, is a popular place for locals due to the mountains that surround it and the trails which provide perfect jogging lanes.

Turtle Cove Beach - This beach may be small, but that doesn’t mean that it lacks in quality. There is a degree of manmade influence here, but it is not at the level where it detracts from the enjoyment of the surrounding environment. As the title of the beach suggest, it is a good place to see turtles if you venture a bit further out to sea.

Victoria Park - This is one of the most popular parks in Hong Kong for locals and tourists alike. It is a mixture of manmade structures, cafes and statues and healthy natural growth. It is somewhat of a contrast to the built up surroundings.
