Abandoned fishing villages in the New Territories

Sidney, an anthropologist, takes us on an amazing hike through the parks in the New Territories, as well as Grass Island. We rescue a dandy Dutch soccer stadium architect, who hops a ride back to the mainland on our speedboat.

I love the shark's tooth over the center of this building. I was amazed how similar the plant life was to South Florida: melaleuca (brought to Florida and HK from Australia, I think), bougainvillea, feathery-looking pines, and banyan trees.
