A Hong Kong book with a difference, which directs our attention not to the highlights of the concrete jungle but to the surrounding natural beauty of the rest of the island. By guiding the reader along the 100km MacLehose Trail, which conveniently traverses the whole territory, the authors point out multifarious aspects of the geography, geology, climate, history and vegetation of the surroundings and how human activities and natural factors have contributed to the landscape. The authors have selected over 250 points of interest on the trail, each of which is keyed to a descriptive paragraph in the guide. Illustrated throughout with aerial photos, trail maps, geological maps, diagrams and more photos, and complemented by plenty of background information and a bibliography, this is and expertly written field guide and a fascinating source of reference on the natural processes shaping the land.

Authors:Bernie Owen & Raynor Shaw.
