今天去欣澳玩??? ~ 很多人都不知道, 原來欣澳仍有一個美麗的景點: 陰澳鹿頸村

大家乘東涌線列車到大嶼山, 在列車停於欣澳站時, 都會給海上的木排吸引著吧? 為什麼海上會插著木條呢??

其實, 陰澳(= 欣澳) 在昔日有很多木廠, 所以亦是儲存木材的地方!!! 後來因興建機場的關係, 整個陰澳都改變了.
以前, 海上的木排是吸引行山客的景點之一, 村內亦非常熱烈!!

因為狄士尼, 陰澳被改名為欣澳, 今天的鹿頸村, 雖然交通比昔日方便了許多, 但卻沒有以往的熱鬧了.

Going to Sunny Bay (= Yam O, the original name of this place) for a hike??? Wooow, it sounds cool! Many people don't realise there's still a beautiful scenic spot here~ Luk Keng Village of Yam O!!

When you travel by MTR (Tung Chung Line) to Lantau, you may be attracted by the lumber in the sea and doubt that why they are there?
The fact is, Yam O used to be a lumber preservation zone in HK, so this is why there're still lumber on stilts in Yam O Bay now.
This scene attracted many visitors to Luk Keng Village (along Yam O Bay) in the past, but due to the construction of HK Int'l Airport,
it changed the outlook of Yam O a lot, many lumber also disappeared....

Because of the construction of DisneyLand, the name of Yam O is changed to Sunny Bay. Although MTR is available and makes it easier and more quickly to access Yam O,
the number of visitors has dropped a lot, and now many village houses are abandoned.

10:30 到達欣澳地鐵站後, 先步向愉景灣巴士站. 附近有草叢, 中間有小路可通向海邊. 接上沿海步道 (旁邊是列車路軌), 便看見鹿頸(左) 及長索(右) 兩個小島, 海上仍插著少數木排.

J

We arrived Sunny Bay MTR station @ 10:00. Then walked to the way for the bus terminus (buses for Discovery Bay).
There're some plants grown nearby, with a path in between the plants. Walk through this path and then you'll reach the seaside of Yam O (just next to the rail of Tung Chung line).
You can see the two little islands, Luk Keng (left) and Cheung Sok (right).
There are still lumber on stilts @ Yam O bay today.

今日目的地: 陰澳鹿頸村

J

Today's spot: Luk Keng Village of Yam O

沿陰澳灣步行, 旁為地鐵列車路軌, 陰澳灣盡頭便是鹿頸村入口, 村路易行, 不過有快倒下的樹, 出入小心.
路上有大蛇, 牠見人便會躲避, 注意勿踏在牠身上.

J

We walked along Yam O Bay, which is just next to the rail of MTR trains. The end of Yam O bay is the entrance of Luk Keng village.
The village footpath is very hiker-friendly, but there's a tree nearly falling down, be careful.
There's a big snake nearby, don't step on it, it will go away when there're people around.

到了古式古香的鹿頸村~ 有新裝修的海邊小屋!!! 亦有切菜板, 魚網及咸豐年代的舊汽水機 (舊汽水機是大嶼山地鐵支線未興建時, 遊人來陰澳遊玩時已經有的!! 當時陰澳是一個旅遊熱點!!! 很多人來看海上的木排).

J

Here we are in OLD Luk Keng Village!! ~ But with NEW seaside village house now!! It should be re-built from old wooden house.
There are also chopping board, fish net and very very old soft-drink fridge!
(This old Pepsi Fridge is already in this village during the time before the construction of Tung Chung MTR line. Many people came here in the old past to have a look @ the lumber on stilts!! It used to be a famous scenic spot in the old days!)

海邊的古舊村屋.

An old village house @ the seaside.

木排上遊走~ 昔日是旅遊點之一的陰澳, 今日只得木排數條. 我們亦一試遊走木排, 還差點滑入水中!! 昔日的海中木屋, 今日已變得破爛, 當日很多人來此, 踏著木排步向海中央的風光不再, 有點可惜.

J

A closeup of lumber on stilts!! ~ This used to be a scenic spot! Visitors in the past liked to walk on the lumbers and then walked to the middle of the sea bay,
to have a look at the wooden raft (a wooden house floating on the sea). Now as not many lumber is left, we could just walk on the lumber @ the seaside, what a pity!!
But we nearly fell into the water!! Hahaha!!

鹿頸碼頭:~ 未有地鐵時, 來鹿頸村只有街渡. 昔日有安記街渡, 由青龍頭出發, 直達鹿頸碼頭, 已於2009年停辦.
據聞昔日的安記街渡因乘客很少, 要有足夠的人數才能出發, 所以能夠坐上已經是幸運....

J

Now @ Luk Keng Pier~ Before MTR is available in Lantau, there was ONLY Kai-to ferry service to Luk Keng village, the "On Kee" ferry, which was NOT in service any more from 2009.
In the past, "On Kee" ferry started from Tsing Lung Tau (Sham Cheng, near Tuen Mun) pier, and directly to Luk Keng pier.
But as there were always not enough passengers for ferry, "On Kee" ferry was not usually in service.
In the past, if visitors wanted to have a visit here, they formed large hiking teams in order to get On Kee Ferry for service.

沿鹿頸碼頭的海岸, 步向長索島~ 長索島是一個無人居住的小島, 有一個連島沙堤接到鹿頸, 水退時可由沙堤步向長索島, 水漲則不能前往.
今早水退, 我們步到沙堤附近時, 天色轉暗, 似要下雨. 為怕下雨令海水突然暴漲而被困在長索島上, 大家只好沿路而回.

J

We walked along the seacoast of Luk Keng Pier, to Cheung Sok Island (at the back of Tachibana san, 2nd photo!).
No people are living in Cheung Sok Island, because of its nature~ it's a tombolo! You can reach Cheung Sok Island during low tide, but the pebble path will be inside the sea during high tide!!
This is why nobody lives there. It was low tide this morning, we tried to reach Cheung Sok Island from Luk Keng.
But when we were walking along the seacoast, it suddenly turned very dark and it was going to rain!!
Rain may lead to sudden rise of sea level and we might be trapped in Cheung Sok Island!! So we gave up the walk to Cheung Sok Island and moved back to Luk Keng village.

原來有士多!! 不過不見有人在內.

J

Oh, there's a store here for snacks and drinks!! But couldn't see anyone inside this morning.

鹿頸村內有燒烤場, 旁有林徑, 可通往陰仔灣.

J

There's a BBQ site @ Luk Keng Village, with woods nearby, leading to Yam Chai Bay.

陰仔灣十分美麗, 以前這裡有中華白海豚出沒, 不過因為很多船出入, 現在很難看到牠們了.

J

Yam Chai Bay is very beautiful!!! In the past, people could see Chinese white dolphins here!!!
But as there are ships and pollution near this place, we can't see any dolphins here now.

來介紹一下今天的兩位導遊, 亦是這裡土生土長的原居民:~ 兩隻會笑的唐狗!! 友善可愛, 會跟著我們四處遊玩, 不過吠聲驚人.

J

Our tour-guides, also local residents here~ 2 laughing dogs!! They are very lovely and friendly, also very curious, they walked with us wherever we went!!
Their barking noises also surprised us!! We even could hear their barks near Sunny Bay MTR station.
