今天閒遊東澳古道!! 先乘23號(往昂平)巴士於山海亭下車, 然後步入深屈道, 再走約40分鐘下山至深屈村.

J

Our walk today is Tung O Path (From Sham Wat to Tung Chung this time!!)!!!
First get bus no.23 (For Big Buddha) and then get off @ San Hoi Ting. Walk to Sham Wat Road and then walk for another 40 mins downhill.
Then you can see Sham Wat Village.




















先往茜草灣村~ 一個從70年代已荒廢了的小農村. 景色甚美!!!

J

First we went to Sai Tso Wan Village~ a little village being abandoned since the 1970s. The scenes were so beautiful!!








返回深屈村... 是午飯的時間了, 後面是彌深石澗的入澗位.

J

Back to Sham Wat village... time for lunch!! At the back is the "entrance" of Nei Sham Stream.














深屈村內有數間村民經營的士多, 最後我們在8號的小店吃飯.

J

There are a number of food stalls run by the villagers of Sham Wat village. Finally we had lunch in stall no.8.
































今天終於喝到新鮮楊桃汁!!! 楊桃是村民種植的, 另外還有咸柑桔, 綠豆沙, 糖水及香蕉!!!!

J

Oh, I have got you now!!!!! Fresh star-fruit juice!!!!! The star-fruit were picked from the orchard in the village!
There were citrus fruit (Calamondin, from the orchard also), sweet mung bean soup and bananas!!!














楊桃及在海邊乾曬的柑桔~ 全都是村民種的, 收獲豐富!!!

J

The harvest~ star-fruit for squeezing, calamondins are dried under the sun, along the beach~ all grown inside the village!!
Fresh star-fruit juice is very delicious~ highly recommended!! A pity is that, it is not always available, just depends on the weather....








海邊吹風~~~ 村民常在附近捕海產吃, 魚, 蝦, 蟹都甚肥大. 所以這裡的村民都甚少到市區, 煮食仍然使用柴火.

J

@ the seaside~~ villagers often get fish, shrimps and crabs from the sea (We could see they were having a "big" lunch with seafood this afternoon)!! And they seldom go out for the town centre,
they still use firewood instead of gas for cooking.




















深屈村內的寺院~~ 勝覺下苑, 園內有一尊地藏菩薩, 一只身穿厚厚外套的小臘腸犬從佛殿走出來, 不停大叫, 非常可愛!!

J

A Buddhist monastery in Sham Wat Village~ Shing Kok Ha Yuen, with a statue of Ksitigarbha Boddhisattva in the garden.
A lovely little Daschund "wrapped" in a thick coat rushed out from the monastery and barked to us.








深石社.

J

Sham Shek She~ Deity worshipped by the farmers in the old days, for protecting the harvest.
Even now not many people are living here, the old villagers still worship the deity, which is part of their everyday lives.




















這裡仍可見到古時農業社會的各樣神祇, 包括社稷神, 天德聖橋及三山國王廟.

J

You can still see those old traditions in the villages here!
From top: Deity of Harvest, Tin Tak Saint Bridge (Fairy's bridge!!) and a temple for 3 deities, they are believed to have the power for protecting the villagers from being affected by natural disasters.




















山友在溪邊煮食及野餐!!!! 附近有不少荒廢的村屋.

J

We could see some hikers cooking and eating @ the riverside (see the cooking utensils on the rocks!!)
There are some abandoned farmland and farm houses @ this place also.














往東涌途中, 見到有荒廢了的豬舍.

J

We could see some old pig houses when going to Tung Chung....






































由於要建新機場跑道及港珠澳大橋, 將來肯定對沙螺灣的環境造成大破壞!! 村民非常不滿, 橫額貼滿沙螺灣海邊.

J

As the construction of a new airport runway and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge at this place, it will badly damage the environment of Sha Lo Wan.
The villagers are very disappointed and they have hanged banners everywhere along the seaside.














沙螺灣村內, 亦見對機管局不滿的橫額貼在球場外.

J

A banner "Airport Authority~ A Liar" is attached to the Sha Lo Wan playground, inside Sha Lo Wan village.














村內的小食檔, 有美味的燴蕃薯!!!

J

A little food stall in Sha Lo Wan village, with delicious grilled sweet potatoes!!!








美麗石澗.

J

Beautiful stream


























鱟殼灣的機場觀景亭, 大家都留下看飛機起飛.

J

A look-out point @ Hau Hok Wan, opposite to the airport runway.
We stopped for a while to watch the planes taking off.














鱟殼灣的海邊, 然後穿過黑森林.

J

The seaside of Hau Hok Wan... then we were running inside the "dark forest".














散頭客家村, 有柴枝存放地.

J

A typical Hakka village~ San Tau Village, with places for storing firewood.


























公灶, 散頭舊村校, 舊村屋及彩色祠堂.

J

From top: village public stove, old village school, old village house and a colourful ancestor hall.




















回到東涌灣, 村屋+美景=滿足, 東澳古道之旅順利完成, 全程13公里, 4小時.

J

Back to Tung Chung bay, beautiful village house && nature scenes = 100% satisfaction!!
It's the end of the Tung O path walk, we had spent 4 hours for this 13km walk.
