The North District occupies the northeastern New Territories, bordering mainland China across the Sham Chun River and containing the new town of Fanling–Sheung Shui. Historical sites include Bride's Pool and the New Territories Magistracy, while viewpoints such as Robin's Nest and Sandy Ridge command the landscape. The district holds little of conventional tourist interest beyond its hiking routes and scattered heritage landmarks.
