This is the first practical. portable, and authoritative guide to Hong Kong's cultural heritage that combines walking tours with an informative and accessible introduction to Hong Kong culture. The first half of the book explains the history, culture, beliefs, social customs, and folk superstitions of the Hong Kong New Territories people, and how these are reflected in their everyday lives. The second half is a guide to touring twelve places of interest in the New Territories and outlying islands.
