The New Territories is the largest of the three main regions of Hong Kong, alongside Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula, making up roughly 86 percent of the territory's land area and home to about half its population. It observes Hong Kong Time (HKT, UTC+8) year-round, with no daylight saving since Hong Kong last used it in 1979. The region was leased to Britain by Qing China in 1898 under a 99-year lease, an arrangement whose expiry in 1997 effectively forced the broader handover of Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China. Once largely rural, the New Territories now contains most of Hong Kong's high-density new towns, including Sha Tin, Tuen Mun, and Tin Shui Wai, built from the 1970s onward to house the growing population, alongside extensive country parks and the border with mainland Shenzhen.
