HONG KONG CAMP SITES
香港露營地點衛星地圖
| Camping in Hong Kong is fun. But planning a camping on a map is a hard job. You have an idea where to go, have selected a favourable camp site, but you don't know its surrounding areas, what you will see, and, very likely, how to get there. A typographic map gives you an abstract and accurate idea of a certain place and its geographic features, but very few of us could visualize the three-dimensional scenes with our average spatial ability. This Google Earth Approach to Hong Kong Camp Sites give accurate positions of the 38 camp sites desigated by the AFCD, with pictures and links to more info. How does it work? Download the KMZ file and open it with Google Earth. You will see all camp sites listed under 'Temporary Places'. Feel free to double click each site to fly to it, or click the play button to have a fly-by cruise. If you would like to keep them, move the 'Hong Kong Camp Sites' folder to 'My Places'. Google Earth since June 2006 has offered high resolution maps covering almost 98% of Hong Kong land area. The exception is Tung Ping Chau in our North Eastern waters. You can zoom in and out to each camp site, tilt up and down to see its surroundings. Move a mouse over any area, it shows the altitude.
