Green Areas in Hong Kong

Hong Kong has been called "concrete jungle". But people rarely notice that nearly 7 million residents are all living and working in less than 25% of the land in Hong Kong. The remaining area is remarkably green. Significant portions are reserved as country parks and nature reserves.

Beautiful gardens can be found in busy and crowd areas. They provide natural and relaxing environments to busy Hong Kong people.

You have done an admirable job of portraying the peaceful, beauty that most of us do not necessarily associate with Hong Kong. Great photography as in all your work. ~V~

For one who haven't been there it is nice to see that there are other things than sky scrapers and concrete in Hong Kong. Fine gallery.
