Where can I see the history of native people in the New Territories?

Different from the Indians in the US and Aborigines in Australia, native people in the New Territories of Hong Kong are also Chinese.

The British Colonial Government gave the rural settlers in the New Territories the indigenous status to placate them.

Government keeps a lot of native people’s architectures as the heritage sites.

Should I stay in the hotels in the New Territories?

For most travelers, the answer is “NO”!

A lot of big hotel brands, Marriott, Hyatt, Holiday Inn etc., have their new hotels in different parts of the New Territories.

Hyatt Regency Sha Tin is right next to the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Hyatt Regency Sha Tin is right next to the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

 

They may be cheaper than the brands’ flagship hotels in the city center.

But they are too far away from the main attractions on the Hong Kong Island and in Kowloon Peninsula.

Courtyard by Marriott Hong Kong Sha Tin is good for the businessmen

Courtyard by Marriott Hong Kong Sha Tin is at the commercial area. So it is good for the businessmen.

 

Leisure travelers need to spend a lot of time (by train) and a lot of money (by taxi) to go back and forth the hotels in the New Territories and the main sightseeing points in the downtown of Hong Kong.

If you are the business travelers, you may stay in the hotels at the commercial areas and industrial areas in Sha Tin, Tseung Kwan O, Tsuen Wan and Tuen Mun to save traffic time.
