The native hills of the territory and as a rule close to the coast and congesting the south constitute extensive valleys and plains lie to the west and north, draining into Deep Bay. Such are the valleys, of which the Sham Chun is the chief, and the plains of Ping Shan and Ha Tsuen, and the valleys of Shap Pat Heung, lying to the north-west of the range of Jai Mun Shan.
A remarkable feature in the Shap Pat Heung plains is the abrupt and clearly-defined line between hill and plain. The plain extends from the shores of Deep Bay for some miles into the interior, never reaching an elevation of more than 15 ft. above high native mark, but from this point the hills rise abruptly at an angle of 15 to 20 degrees.
