These however form only a very small minority of the total rural population.

An increasing number of city-dwellers of all nationalities, have in recent years been building bungalows and small weekend residences in the New Territories. Most of these are along the main roads, particularly at Sha Tin, Tai Po, near the Fan Ling golf courses, and along the road to Castle Peak and Clearwater Bay. On the islands the principal areas affected are Cheung Chau and Silver Mine Bay.
