Captain Amerika & Donny @ We Love HK: t20100320-TungOPath

0935大澳市集起步.

Started at 09:35 at Tai O Market

在新基見此指示牌便向左轉.

E

Turn Left for the way to Sha Lo Wan.

綺麗翠綠寶珠潭~~~ 寶珠潭對面的象山上山.

E

Now at Po Chu Dam, walk up Cheung Shan (Elephant Hill) and start the trail to Tung Chung.

沿石級上山最安全.

E

Walk upstairs from here, the safest way.

上石級後下望寶珠潭.

E

Upstairs and looked back to Po Chu Dam.

重遇嶼北界石, 互相問好.

E

Saw the North Lantau Obelisk.

下石級接去粉紅海岸.

E

Downstairs to the "Pink Seacoast"

開始沙石山徑之旅.

E

From here, the mountain path is sandy and full of stones.

今天一直水漲, 不能綑岸而行, 只稍看粉紅海岸.

E

High tide today, we couldn't walked along the "Pink Seacoast", so we just took some photos near the pink rocks.

接回山徑, 沿路山徑全由粉紅石組成.

E

Back to the shore ~ the mountain path is also made up of pink rocks.

新洲+鐵德樹一帶的舊捕魚用具.

E

An old fishing tool used in the old days ~ here's Sun Chau / Tit Tat Shu, fishermen used to get fish here for selling.

繼續步向深屈.

E

Kept on walking to Sham Wat.

距離大澳越來越遠.

E

We were far away from Tai O.

紅粉佳人伴深屈~~~ 雖然有霧, 但仍可見到"粉紅海岸", 快到茜草灣(深屈村附近的一條舊漁村)了.

E

Although quite misty this morning, we could still see the "Pink Seacoast", now we were near Sai Tso Wan(An old fish village near Sham Wat Village).

終於到了石屎路段!

E

Now we had ended our sandy mountain path and started to walk on concrete village road.

大澳至深屈的山路凹凸不平, 很多碎石, 有少許路段狹窄及極貼崖壁, 沿途見有單車人要即時徹離, 可見此段只宜徒步登山, 不宜單車前行.
為免車毀人亡, 單車人都是原路回程.

The sandy mountain path from Tai O to Sham Wat is rough and stoney, some points are narrow and near the edge of the cliff. Many bikers moved back to Sham Wat when they saw the mountain road.
It is better to end @ Sham Wat and back to Tung Chung if you're riding a bike.

石級上行入深屈.

E

Walk upstairs to Sham Wat.

到達深屈之前, 先一探茜草灣.

E

Go to Sai Tso Wan before entering Sham Wat.

茜草灣旁便是大澳山路的終點.

E

Next to the way to Sai Tso Wan is the end point of the Tai O mountain road.

茜草灣內一片翠綠

E

Green everywhere inside Sai Tso Wan.

茜草灣海岸有不少被棄置的小艇

E

Many boats abandoned near the seacoast of Sai Tso Wan.

茜草灣內仍有不少荒廢村屋.

E

Still some abandoned village houses @ Sai Tso Wan.

荒田片片.

E

Abandoned farmland

荒廢村屋

E

Old village houses.

荒田內不斷傳出青蛙叫聲.

E

Frogs everywhere @ the abandoned farmland.

茜草灣已成荒村, 村民已經搬離多時, 不過仍見有果園在村口, 不知假日會否有村民回來....

Sai Tso Wan is already abandoned long time ago. Villagers all moved, but there's still a farmland for growing fruit near the entrance of the village.

離開茜草灣, 步向深屈. (沙螺灣方向)

E

Left Sai Tso Wan and walked to Sham Wat. (The way to Sha Lo Wan)

再訪深屈灣.

E

Visited Sham Wat Wan again.

今日在坤叔的店子吃午飯, 坤嬸和一家人都在店內幫忙.

E

We had our lunch @ Old Kwan's shop, his wife and daughters also helped in the shop.

有自家種的香蕉出售.

E

Bananas grown in the village.

單車男飯前在深屈灣旁的村路上練習.

E

Bikers practised near Sham Wat Bay before having their lunch.

吃飽了, 單車男開始殺入深石, 花老B 繼續在深屈影相.

E

Bikers started to ride back to Sham Shek (to Tung Chung) after lunch, Tachibana san stayed behind to take photos.

深屈很美, 但因為返回東涌仍要3小時, 所以不能久留了.

E

Sham Wat is really very beautiful. But as we still need 3 hours to walk to Tung Chung, we had to leave early.

步向深屈村的後段, 向深石村和散石村前進.

E

Walked to another part of Sham Wat village, and continued our journey to Sham Shek village and San Shek village.

深屈雖然非常偏遠, 但仍有不少村民居住.

E

Although Sham Wat is very far away from the urban area, there are still a number of villagers living there.

很有懷舊味道的村屋.

E

A beautiful old-styled village house @ Sham Wat.

村屋前的裝飾很有趣.

E

Well-decorated village house.

有村民在此.

E

There's somebody living in this house.
