Hong Kong Topographical Records: Ping Shan District, Wong Jing Compilation, Sha Jiang Compilation

Let's delve into the forgotten history of Hong Kong's rural areas and their closely intertwined relationship with the local terrain. As urban development erases many traditional place names from official maps, this book focuses on Yuen Long Wong Jing and Sha Jiang." Divided into "Landmark Records" and "Mountain Chronicles," it explores settlement histories, man-made structures, and natural features like mountains, valleys, and rivers. Through interviews, inscriptions, and official maps, the author offers historical evidence and corrections while providing visually captivating photographs and new maps for easy reference and study.
