Hong Kong/KLOC-New Territories in Zone 0/8

New Territories) * * * There are 9 districts. Islands District is the largest in Hong Kong 18 District, accounting for 65,438+06% of the total area of Hong Kong, and Lantau Island is the largest.

Although there are 263 islands in Hong Kong, the Islands District only includes more than 20 islands in the south and southwest of Hong Kong. Hong Kong Island has four districts; Ap Lei Chau belongs to the south of Hong Kong Island; Large and small green islands belong to the central and western regions; The outlying islands in New Territories East belong to Sai Kung District, Tai Po District and North District respectively; Northwest New Territories belongs to Tuen Mun District; Ma Wan Island and northeast Lantau Island belong to Tsuen Wan District; Tsing Yi Island belongs to Kwai Tsing District. Kwai Tsing District is one of the eight administrative districts of Hong Kong/KLOC-0. April 1985 Leaving Tsuen Wan, including Kwai Chung and Tsing Yi. Its District Council was originally named "Kwai Chung and Tsing Yi District Council", and in April 1988 it was renamed "Kwai Tsing District Council". The area is about 2 1.82 square kilometers. According to the statistics in 2006, the population of Kwai Tsing District is about 523,300.

Kwai Tsing District is bounded by Ivo Hop Road, Shing Mun Road, Castle Peak Road and Texaco Road in the north, Chengxiang Road and Lijingshan Road in the south and Texaco Road in the west. Area 1, 99 1 hectare, population about 486,000. More than 75% of the residents in this area live in public housing. The intersection of Sham Shui Po District, Sha Tin District and Kwai Tsing District is located in Butterfly Valley of Route 8, which is about to be completed.

The southern part of Kwai Tsing District is bounded by Chengxiang Road. Some areas regarded as Kowloon, such as Huali Village, Liwan Garden and Jiuhua Trail, are all in Kwai Tsing District. On the contrary, Qingli Garden, located to the west of the above areas, belongs to the deep water area.

The reason for this difficulty is that the mountains north of Lai Chi Kok do not extend westward from Kowloon (Lion Mountain and Tate's Cairn Mountain), but extend southward from Tai Mo Mountain in the New Territories (Jinshan and Aobei Mountain). The Hong Kong Government does not regard Jinshan and Aobei Mountain as the dividing line between New Kowloon and New Territories, but decides to use the road west of Butterfly Valley as the dividing line between these two areas. Before the reclamation of Lai Chi Kok, the boundary between Sham Shui Po and Tsuen Wan was a few tens of meters north of the coast of Lai Chi Kok Bay, which was then the valley and delta at the entrance of Liyuan. Therefore, it is difficult to distinguish between Kowloon and the New Territories in this respect. North District, as its name implies, is the northernmost district in Hong Kong 18. In the north, it is bounded by Shenzhen River, Shatoujiao River and Zhongying Street, and borders Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province. The three border crossings between Hongkong and Chinese mainland (Man Kam To, Lo Wu and Sha Tau Kok) are located in the North District; Yuen Long District in the west and Tai Po District in the south; It can be roughly divided into four parts: Sheung Shui, Fanling, Sha Tau Kok and Daguling. The North District also includes outlying islands, such as Kat O and Ap Lei Chau in Mirs Bay.

According to the government's 200 1 statistics, the population of North District is 298,657. Nearly 90% of the population is concentrated in Fanling and Sheung Shui, and the remaining 40,000 people live in villages in this area.

70% of the population in North District lives in public housing. To tie in with the development of the North District, the Hong Kong Housing Authority plans to build a public housing estate at 1982. The earliest public housing was the vegetable garden near sheung shui station of East Rail, which was completed on 1982. * * * There are four old long residential buildings and two connected I-shaped buildings. The second public housing estate, Xianghua House, was completed on 1984.

Because the North Point of Hong Kong Island is also called "North District" by the local Scouts or other early organizations, sometimes Hong Kong people call it "North District of New Territories" or simply "Sheung Shui" and "Fanling" to avoid confusion. Sai Kung District is located on the eastern coast of Hong Kong, with a total area of 65,438+02,680 hectares, including the southern part of Sai Kung Peninsula, Clear Water Bay Peninsula, Tseung Kwan O New Town and more than 70 islands in the eastern waters. It is the second largest region in Hong Kong. 95% of the population is concentrated in Tseung Kwan O New Town. Saigon is called the back garden of Hong Kong, because most of this area has not been developed, and it has become a good place for people to have an outing every day.

Geographically, Sai Kung District can be divided into "Sai Kung and Sai Kung Rural Area" and "Tseung Kwan O and Clear Water Bay Peninsula".

"Sai Kung and Sai Kung Rural Area" includes Sai Kung City, Pak Sha Wan, Borai, Jinglan Tree, Pik Uk, Dawangzai, Pak Tam Chung, Ho Chung and High Island Reservoir. "Tseung Kwan O and Clear Water Bay Peninsula" includes Tai Po Tsai, Tseung Kwan O, Hang Hau, Tiu Keng Leng, Maowu Tsai, Clear Water Bay, Budai'ao, Tai Chi Sha and Xiao Chi Sha. Due to historical division, the northern part of Saigon on the peninsula (including Beitan 'ao, Huangshi Wharf, Hoi Ha Wan, Shisi Township and Niyong along Xisha Road) is an enclave under the jurisdiction of Tai Po District. Shatin District is one of the 18 districts in Hong Kong, located in the eastern New Territories, with an area of about 6,940 hectares. According to the estimate of the Hong Kong Government in 2004, Sha Tin District has a population of about 637,000, which is the most populous district in Hong Kong. Sha Tin New Town in Sha Tin District is also one of the first three new towns in the New Territories (formerly known as satellite towns), which started to develop in the1960s, while Ma On Shan in the east of Sha Tin District started to develop in the1980s and merged into Sha Tin New Town.

Sha Tin District was originally just a reclamation area on both sides of Sha Tin Sea and Shing Mun River, including Tai Wai, Fo Tan, Wo Che, Shimen, Siu Lek Yuen, Yuen Chau Kok, Jiudushan and Maliushui. However, Sha Tin District extends all the way to Ma On Shan today, including Wuxisha and other places. In Sha Tin New Town, the sea areas on both sides of Sha Tin Sea were reclaimed by seawalls and gradually turned into land, and the remaining deep water in the center became an extension of the original Chengmen River.

Sha Tin District is one of the first areas in Hong Kong to introduce the concept of urban planning. The development and design of the new city is a belt extending from southwest to northeast, with Chengmen River as the central axis and two mountains developing. Sha Tin New Town is located in Sha Tin Station, east rail line, with government facilities, open space, public transport interchange and a number of large shopping malls nearby.

There are two shopping malls in First City, Sha Tin, namely Silver City Shopping Mall and First City Center, which are the first private shopping malls in Sha Tin, mainly attracting residents in the area east of Shing Mun River to shop.

As for the shopping areas in Sha Tin District, they are mainly concentrated in the downtown of Sha Tin. 198 1 year, Sha Tin Center, the first housing estate and shopping center in Sha Tin downtown, was officially completed, becoming the first shopping center in Sha Tin downtown. 1983, Good Luck Center was built, and it was connected with Shatin Center by overpass. 1984, the new city plaza next to Shatian Station of East Rail was completed, which was the first large-scale shopping mall built in a new town. 1995 The upper cover of Sha Tin Station was converted into Liancheng Square. At present, there are 65,438+04 footbridges in Shatin downtown (including the footbridge connecting the north and south wings of the new city plaza and the longest footbridge connecting the Wo Lai Mei He Building, with a total length of more than 2 kilometers) connecting major shopping malls, making Shatin downtown a large shopping center and the area a major shopping area in New Territories East. At present, the government is planning to build a flyover to connect the only unconnected new town center square in Sha Tin town center, which will not only facilitate tourists, but also enable the public to reach Sha Tin Government Offices more quickly. But so far, the residents of Paitou Village have not built overpasses on the grounds that overpasses will destroy the village's geomantic omen. In addition to the shopping malls mentioned above, there are Sha Tin Plaza, Hilton Center and MUGUR PETRU CIUBANCAN Shopping Center in Sha Tin downtown.

The shopping center, which consists of Xingangcheng Center, Xingangcheng Square and Maanshan Square, has also become the largest shopping center in Maanshan, making the neighborhood the center of Maanshan. In addition, in Fotan, Sha Tin Commercial Center and Jubilee Garden, we have also set up our own Jubilee Pavilion shopping malls to facilitate residents to shop in Fotan. Tai Po District is one of the districts of Hong Kong 18. It is located in the eastern New Territories, starting from Tai Po Jiao in the south, reaching Baxianling in the north, connecting Avenue East in the west and Tolo Harbour in the east, including Shisi Township, Huangzhulang and islands such as Tamen, Peng Chau and Chizhou on the other side of Saigon, with a total area of about 65,438+04,800 hectares.

According to 200 1 government statistics, the population of Tai Po District is 3 10879. They mainly live in six public rental housing estates and Tenants Purchase Scheme estates, as well as private housing estates in Tai Po Old Market near Taihe Station and Tai Po New Market near tai po market station. Many residents are scattered in 133 village. In 2005, Tai Po was recognized as a "safe community" by WHO, the 90th safe community in the world and the 3rd safe community in Hong Kong.

There is a famous inner port of Hong Kong-Tolo Port in Tai Po District, which is located in the east of Tai Po New Town and the northeast of Sha Tin New Town. The harbor is southwest-northeast, and its exit is Taiji Gate, after which seawater flows into Dapeng Bay.

Plover Bay Freshwater Lake in Tai Wai Tuk is the first large-scale water storage reservoir in Hong Kong, and it is also a good place for people to ride bicycles. Freshwater Lake was originally a big bay-Wan Chuan. There used to be many villages along the gulf coast, but they were demolished during the construction of freshwater lakes in the 1960 s, and some rural sites were buried at the bottom of freshwater lakes.

The more famous mountain in Tai Po is Baxianling in the north, which is also the natural boundary between Tai Po and North District. There are several launching stations on the cloudy peak nearby.

The weather in Tai Po District is very humid, and the humidity is often as high as 100% in spring and summer. When the visibility is the lowest, it can only be several meters away. The center of Tai Po District is Tai Po New Town, including Tai Po Market in the old district and Tai Po Center in the new district. Tsuen Wan District, one of the 18 districts in Hong Kong, is located in the southern New Territories of Hong Kong, about 5 kilometers away from Kowloon, with an area of about 6,070 hectares. According to the estimate of the Hong Kong Government in 2004, the population of Tsuen Wan District is about 290,000. Tsuen Wan New Town, including a part of Tsuen Wan District, is the second new town in Hong Kong (formerly known as Satellite Town), which began to develop in the late 1960s. Now, with the opening of infrastructure such as Hong Kong International Airport and Hong Kong Disneyland, Tsuen Wan has become a region with great development potential in Hong Kong.

Tsuen Wan District is now under the jurisdiction of Tsuen Wan District Council, which was established in April 198 1. It has always been regarded as one of the earliest district councils in Hong Kong, because its predecessor, Tsuen Wan Recreation and Appearance Advisory Committee, was established earlier than 1976, 1977 was renamed as Tsuen Wan Advisory Committee, and 198 1 was reorganized as Tsuen Wan District Council. In addition to the whole Tsuen Wan New Town, it also

During the period from 198 1 to 1985, the jurisdiction of the Tsuen Wan District Council covers the whole Tsuen Wan New Town (Tsuen Wan, Kwai Chung and Tsing Yi), stretching to the west boundary of Jinshan Country Park in the east, Jiuhua Trail and Lai King Terrace in Lijingshan Road in the south, Jialong Village in Qinglong Head in the west, and Tai Mo Shan Country Park near Jin 'ao in Tsuen Wan and the gate near Lead Mine Au in the north.

With the development of the new town in Tsuen Wan, the population of Tsuen Wan is increasing. In order to reduce the burden of resource allocation for DCs, the government re-divided the local administrative districts, and established Kwai Chung and Tsing Yi District Councils in April 1985 (renamed Kwai Tsing District Councils in April 1988) to focus on serving residents in Kwai Chung and Tsing Yi. Tsuen Wan District is redrawn, with Shing Mun Road, Ivo Hop Road, Chang Rong Road, Castle Peak Road and Texaco Road in the east, Ting Kau coastline and Ma Wan Strait in the south, Jialong Village in Tsing Lung Tau in the west, Tai Mo Shan Country Park near Jin 'ao in Tsuen Wan and Shing Mun Country Park near lead mine pit in the north. Ma Wan and northeast Lantau Island (including Yam O and Penny's Bay) still belong to Tsuen Wan District. The total area of the whole region is about 60.0 1 km2.

The large shopping center in the Bay Area was first built near Tsuen Wan Station in the1980s after the opening of the subway (now MTR) Tsuen Wan Line. For example, Nanfeng Center, Quanfeng Center and Lvyangfang, the properties of Lvyang New Village directly under MTR Corporation (now Hong Kong Railway Corporation). Then the Tsuen Wan Town Center was gradually formed on Castle Peak Road, and then shopping malls such as Tsuen Kam Center and Tsuen Wan Town Center were built, gradually forming an important "heart zone" in Tsuen Wan District.

The largest shopping mall in Tsuen Wan only appears near the old Tsuen Wan Pier in 1990- Tsuen Wan Plaza, with 6 floors and 2 floors of basements. It is also the first time to see a large atrium square in this area, and it is also the second real snow skating rink in Hong Kong (the skating rink is converted into a shopping mall) after Taikoo Shing. 1997 Discovery Park, with its spacious venue, high-rise buildings and super-large square, has become one of the landmarks in Tsuen Wan. Tuen Mun District is one of the administrative districts of Hong Kong 18 and one of the most densely populated residential areas in Hong Kong. Formerly known as Qingshan District, it was renamed in1970s. Castle Peak Bay in the south of Tuen Mun District was reclaimed from the sea in the 1970s and developed into a new town in Tuen Mun together with the nearby coastal areas. Tuen Mun District includes not only the whole Tuen Mun New Town, but also places such as Lam Tei, Grace Garden, Tai Lam Chung, So Kwun Wat, Nim Wan, Black Point Beach, and small islands such as Modao, Shaozhou, Black Point and Sha Chau. According to the statutory plans made by the Planning Department under the Town Planning Ordinance, Tuen Mun District includes Tuen Mun, So Kwun Wat, Lam Tei and Yee Yuen.

Tuen Mun is located in the western New Territories of Hong Kong, bordering Yuen Long District in the north, Tsuen Wan District in the east, the Pearl River Estuary in the west and Lantau Island across the sea in the south. There are Castle Peak (583 meters high) in the west, Jiujing Mountain (507 meters high) in the east, Yuantou Mountain and Yuen Long Plain in the north and Castle Peak Bay in the south. The central area of the area is sandwiched by two high mountains, Castle Peak and Jiujing Mountain, and the Tuen Mun River separates East and West Tuen Mun. Tuen Mun River is an open channel formed by reclamation in Castle Peak Bay during the development of Tuen Mun District, which flows into Castle Peak Bay from north to south, so most houses in Tuen Mun District are built on reclamation. The current Castle Peak Bay is actually a small part of the original. In the early development period, typhoon shelters were built in this area, so the pollution was serious, and it was not improved until recent years. Tuen Mun is far from the city. Road traffic mainly relies on Tuen Mun Highway (Route 9) and Castle Peak Road to connect the urban areas. It usually takes half an hour to get into Tuen Mun by bus from Tsuen Wan, and it usually takes 65,438+0 hours to get in and out of Tuen Mun by bus from Kowloon City and Hong Kong Island (there was no Ting Kau Bridge and Western Harbour Crossing at that time). Therefore, the rent of residential and industrial and commercial buildings in this area has been far lower than that in the urban area, only half that in Central.

Tuen Mun Highway is one of the expressways in Hong Kong and belongs to Route 9. Due to the narrow and tortuous roads, traffic accidents are often heard. In the past, there were frequent traffic jams on Tuen Mun Highway. However, due to the widening of Tuen Mun Highway and the opening of Route 3 and Kowloon-Guangxi Railway (renamed as Minggang west rail line in 2007), traffic problems have been greatly improved.

There are many shopping malls in Tuen Mun, among which Tuen Mun Town Plaza is the largest shopping mall in the region.

Tuen Mun Town Plaza, next to Tuen Mun Rural Committee. Tuen Mun Town Plaza is divided into 1 and 2 phases, which are interconnected with the adjacent Trend Plaza, K-Point, Huadu Garden Shopping Mall, Xindu Shopping Mall and Park Plaza, and become the shopping center area of Tuen Mun. With the development of the superstructure of Tuen Mun Station in west rail line, it is believed that the urban area will expand to this area in the future.

Tuen Mun Central Plaza, located beside Hairong Road, is sparsely populated. Because there are fewer houses there, residents choose to go to the shopping malls in the center of Tuen Mun. Located in the northwest New Territories of Hong Kong, Yuen Long District is the oldest of Hong Kong 18 local administrative regions. Yuen Long District is the only district in Hong Kong with two new towns (Yuen Long New Town and Tin Shui Wai New Town).

In Yuen Long District, there are Yu Xia Village Township (including Hongshuiqiao, Baini and Liufushan), Pingshan Township (including the western part of Yuen Long town center, Hengzhou, Tin Shui Wai and Tsim Bizui), Pat Township (including the eastern part of Yuen Long town center, Au Tau and Nam Sang Wai), Jintian Township, Pat Township (including Shek Kong) and Xintian Township (including Lok Ma Chau and Mai Po). Yuen Long District borders Zhoutou in the east, Machaolong in the north, Hongshui Bridge in the south and Lantian in Tuen Mun.

According to the data of the 2006 Hong Kong Census, Yuen Long has a population of about 530,000, covering an area of about 138 square kilometers, which is three times that of Kowloon and 1.8 times that of Hong Kong Island, and is close to Lantau Island.

The MTR West Rail Line, also operated by the Hong Kong Railway Company Limited, was opened to traffic on February 20th, 2003 (formerly known as Kowloon-Canton Railway, which was operated by Kowloon-Canton Railway Company before February 2nd, 2007), and its depot Baxiang Maintenance Center is located in Baxiang. The MTR has four stations in Yuen Long District, namely Tin Shui Wai Station, long ping station, Yuen Long Station and Kam Sheung Road Station. Now, it only takes about 20 minutes from Yuen Long to Kowloon by subway.
