99. Blame the mainlanders for something.
I did the entire for the first time recently and must agree. Once you get past Wan Chai going east, it gets pretty boring. Recommend the tram that turns around by the market (Whity street i think)Original Post Deleted
there is very few bridges here, tunnels ( apart from the new border cross which isn't complete, there is a small one from the old sha tau kok rail 100 years ago, not sure about the trees in the woods, but the ones in the village, they only perch on their during night time, there are very few delict structures as it's mostly countryside here

Take a ride on the upper deck of the rickshaw bus along Hong Kong island at night : it's fun : the bus really hammers along Hennessey road
- Fei Ngo Shan is well worth it indeed - if you can, add:
- Sharp Peak
- the ridge at the top of Ma On Shan - one the best view you can get in HK
- Sunsrise from Lantau Peak - gorgeous
- Pat Sin Leng on a good day - hard to beat!
I'd also add the Helicopter ride as some suggested.
If you have the time and never did it, a few Dragon Boat trainings and join the main race in Stanley early june

Bats (order Chiroptera) comprise almost half of the mammal species in Hong Kong. Among them, 14 species are cave dwelling. Ten of these are widely distributed in the water tunnels and abandoned mines of Hong Kong. These include Rickett's Big-footed Myotis and Common Bent-winged Bat which were thought to be either rare or uncommon in the past. Some species are common in both rural and urban areas. For example, Short-nosed Fruit Bat, which roosts under the fronds of the Chinese Fan-palm in parks and playgrounds, and Japanese Pipistrelle, which roosts in man-made structures like air-conditioners. The recently discovered species, Greater Bamboo Bat, is only recorded in the Plover Cove Country Park while Lesser Bamboo Bat is widely distributed throughout Hong Kong. Among the species recorded by mist net surveys, Least Pipistrelle and Lesser Yellow Bat are uncommon species while Whiskered Myotis, Chinese Pipistrelle, Greater Bamboo Bat and an unidentified pipistrelle are rare species. The rare Horsfield's Myotis is restricted inside the weepholes at the water tunnels in Shek Kong, Tung Tze and Nam Chung. There is no record of Daubenton's Myotis, Black-bearded Tomb Bat and Fringed Long-footed Myotis in recent years and the status of these three species is poorly known. Wrinkle-lipped Free-tailed Bat has been recorded in many parts of the urban areas during early winter. However, no roosting site of this species has been found in Hong Kong. The individuals recorded were probably either stray or foraging into Hong Kong from nearby roosting sites outside Hong Kong.

Years ago, I followed an underground water tunnel from Shek Pik to Keung Shan, and the ceiling of it was thick with bats.
