先於太和火車站 A出口起步, 穿過錦石新村, 到達挪威國際學校後, 再經錦山路向石蓮路及蓮澳村上山.
中途有"半春園" 的舊牌場坊, 再繼續上山, 直至見到天橋後, 再上行便可見到"香海蓮社半春園"
けさ、太和駅の出口Aからスタートした。錦石新村を通って、NIS学校に着いた。そして錦山路に沿って石蓮路を上げた。
高速が見えたら、半春園は目の前です。
We started from Exit A of Tai Wo Railway station. Walked via Kam Shek New Village, and we reached NIS (Norwegian International School).
Then we walked along Kam Shan Road and then walked uphill from Shek Lin Road and Lin Au Village.
We could see the OLD Pun Chun Yuen monastery as we were moving upwards, we just kept on moving up the road until we saw the flyover.
Then we could see the pink Pun Chun Yuen Monastery finally.
深秋的半春園, 非常美麗.
秋の半春園、とても美しい
What a beautiful garden here!! Especially the autumn scene!
半春園是一間舊式佛寺, 古樸的風味現已罕見. 寺內有古老柴房, 時間彷彿停頓了.
半春園は古いお寺です。今でも、坊主たちは焚き木を使ってる。
Pun Chun Yuen Monastery is still in very old style, which is NOT common in HK now.
There's also a storage place for firewood, which is still in old "look"... were we travelling in a time-machine and back to the old days????
在園內看花!! 花老B 發現了一棵黃金柚子樹, 黃金柚子跌到滿地都是, 真可惜.
庭でお花見！！！
Wondering around @ Pun Chun Yuen monastery!! Tachibana san had found a big Chinese grape-fruit tree,
with lots of "Golden" grapefruit "lying" on the ground!!! We could see there were nearly 10 grapefruit dropped down from the tree.
A pity nobody cared about them.
森林內有荒廢寺院!! 看起來很陰森可怖!! 更要一探!! 即出發在天陰陰的早上來個古寺探秘.
遠い森の中に、荒廃したお寺がある！怖いけど、ぜひ行きたかった！みんなあそこへ走った。
An old monastery in the woods!! It looks like haunted!! Woow!! We had to go for a visit!!
We started our "adventure" in a cloudy and cool morning, with trees "shaking" in the autumn breeze.
What a GREAT atmosphere!!!!!
到了古寺, 原來真的很大很美!! 正門給鎖上, 只好穿過樹林到寺後. 原來後面什麼都沒有!!
此時, 突然在寺後傳來陣陣怪聲.....
すごく立派なお寺だ！！入り口が閉めてあった。みんなお寺の後ろに歩いたら・・・・
The monastery looks so luxury and beautiful!!! But the main entrance is closed, so we walked via the woods to its back.
Oh!! There's NOTHING special at the back!!
Suddenly, there was strange sound from the back of the monastery....... what's up?????
忽然有位食環處的叔叔從寺院後的叢林步出!! 原來他是來清理雜草的. 他還給我們解開古寺之謎!!
原來此荒廢寺院亦是半春園所擁有!! 本來打算用作骨灰龕的, 但因為政府不發牌, 所以一直給丟空, 都荒廢很多年了.
突然、あるおじさんはお寺の後ろから現れた！！あ！彼はここで雑草を削除するためでした。
政府の”食物環境衛生処”の一員です。
親切なおじさんはこのお寺の歴史を教えてくれました。
このお寺（半春園の一部）、元はここに火葬した遺骨を置くために建たれた。でも、許可がもらえないから、だんだん荒廃された。
たぶん十年以上です。
Suddenly there was a man walking out from the woods at the back of the monastery!!
Oh, he's a staff from the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department!!
He comes here quite often to clear the dried grass and dirty water, to prevent large amount of mosquitoes breeding here!
He told us about the "history" of this old monastery~
This beautiful monastery is also part of Pun Chun Yuen Monastery,
and it was planned to be a place for storing human bone ash（cremains）!!
(Chinese people usually put their dead family members' bone ash in monasteries, to let monks and nuns praying for the dead and then
the dead ones can have a more "comfortable" life after death)
But HKSAR government didn't give a licence to Pun Chun Yuen Monastery for this purpose,
so this is why the beautiful monastery was abandoned from that time.. (Many years ago!!)
叢林內一遊.... 忽然見到一山墳!!! (應該是半春園的僧人墓地)
森で遊んでる時、お墓を発見した！！
We played inside the woods.... oh, we found a tomb under some trees!! It should be a monk's "rest-area" from Pun Chun Yuen.
半春園創辦人, 黃先生的故居.
この建物は、半春園の設立者、黃さんの家です。
The house of Mr. Wong (passed away), the founder of Pun Chun Yuen Monastery.
秋意漸濃
秋の雰囲気に包まれた
Enjoying the autumn atmosphere.
人間仙境
仙界にいるみたい
As beautiful as paradise
由於我們沒有預定齋菜, 只好離開半春園, 經錦山路去長霞淨院吃午飯了.
ベジタリアン料理を予約してなかったから、ほかのお寺へ。
As we didn't make a reservation for lunch, we had to leave Pun Chun Yuen,
and then walked downhill and walked along Kam Shan Road for another monastery nearby.
Now we were going to "Buddhist Cheung Ha Temple" for our vegan lunch.

A wonderful visit @ Cheung Ha Temple.
