Eastern
The Eastern District of Hong Kong surrounds some of the lush and green forests that the island has.

It feels less touristy and flashy than some of the other parts of the city, but still has an abundance of places to eat out and have some fun. There are also quite a few hiking opportunities in the area, so if you ever want to go out of the city and see something different than concrete, this is an amazing area to explore and live in.
Sai Kung

If you want a healthy mix of city life and rural charms, this is the area of Hong Kong for you.
