今早來到昂平, 即去秘密花園聯善堂一遊~ 在哪兒? 說了是秘密花園, 當然是秘密.... :P
Oh, we rushed to our secret garden "Luen Sin Tong" for a visit after we had arrived Ngong Ping this morning. But where is this temple?.... Hahahaha!! A secret garden = secret!!




向法門古道前進 (即寶林禪寺及昂平營地方向), 途中是鳳凰山.
Now going to Fat Mun Ancient Path (the way for Po Lam Zen Monastery and Ngong Ping Campsite), you can see Lantau Peak as you walk along the road.


先上彌勒山一看.

從東涌地鐵站出發, 乘坐38號巴士於松仁路 (附近有行人天橋及北大嶼山醫院) 下車. 之後從行人天橋過去對面的東涌道馬灣新村.
Starts from Tung Chung MTR station, take an NLB bus no.38 and get down @ Chung Yan Road bus-stop, which is under a footbridge and next to North Lantau Hospital. Then walk to Ma Wan Village @ Tung Chung Road via the footbridge.


之後再步向赤立角新村.
Then go for Chek Lap Kok New Village.




到了赤立角村, 村口便是昔日建立在赤立角島的全麻石天后廟
Now we were @ Chek Lap Kok New Village, there is a Tin Hau Temple (moved from Chek Lap Kok Island to Tung Chung due to the construction of HK International Airport) at the entrance of the village.


沿黃龍坑道前走, 可到達黃龍坑郊遊徑.
Move along Wong Lung Hang Road for Wong Lung Hang Picnic site.






下走東涌谷, 途中遇上不文山神..... :P
Walking down for Tung Chung Valley and I met this erotic deity of mountain..... :P




山中的可愛唐狗
Lovely dogs were playing @ the mountain trail.








走到東涌河, 稍作小休.
Take a little bit rest @ Tung Chung River.


到了黃龍坑道的盡頭, 亦是郊遊場地.
Now @ the end of Wong Lung Hang Road, also is the picnic site.




黃龍坑水壩前的隧道
Wong Lung Hang Portal, just near the dam.




黃龍坑隧道後, 有隱閉山路可通往黃龍石澗 (不過這裡很斜)
There is a mountain trail (covered by bushes) at the back of Wong Lung Hang Portal, which is leading to Wong Lung Stream (Yellow Dragon Stream), but this side is quite steep.






再深入黃龍坑道, 可見到兩個水壩, 先看看左方較大的水壩.
Deep into Wong Lung Hang Road~ there are 2 dams in front of you!! First take a look @ the bigger dam at the left,








然後是右方較細小的水壩, 大家可以在壩底行走.
Then take a look @ the smaller dam at the right, you can even walk along the footpath under the dam.


右方的水壩旁有樓梯, 看看可通往哪兒....
There are staircases near the smaller dam, just walk upstairs to have a look....








嘩!! 原來是通往水壩的後方!!! 從水壩上往下望, 可看到東涌那邊的山景!!
Oh!!! Now we were @ the back of the dam!! Looking down from the top of the dam, the mountain scenes of Tung Chung are very clear now!!


水壩後面有隱閉山路, 爬下大石及斜坡便可走到黃龍石澗的水邊!!!
There is a "secret path" at the back of the dam, you can climb over some big rocks and a slope and go down to the stream-side of Wong Lung Stream (Yellow Dragon Stream)!








經過小量攀爬, 終於到了黃龍石澗!! 今天陽光普照, 水又清又鮮綠, 真的非常美麗!!!
After a bit of climbing, now I was @ the entrance of Wong Lung Stream (Yellow Dragon Stream)!! The sunlight was so strong this morning and the water became emerald green!!! The scenes of the stream were so beautiful today!!!


石澗後面全是山野~ 這裡亦是遊覽黃龍瀑布的必經之路, 不過由於瀑布位置很遠又有點危險, 所以我的行程只好到此為止.
All bumpy natural mountain path starts from here (quite a challenging walk!!!!) ~ This is the way for Wong Lung Waterfall (Yellow Dragon Waterfall), as the waterfall is quite far away from the dam (around 45 mins' walk, with NO road signs and a bit dangerous), I had to stop and leave now, as I was hiking by myself without any companions here today (I don't want to get lost in the wild!!).


超級可愛的史納莎!!!!!
A super cute Miniature Schnauzer!!!!!






有山邊小徑可通向一個小湖!
A footpath for a pond @ Tung Chung River.




離開黃龍坑, 沿東涌道往上嶺皮的方向走, 不久便到達東涌古堡. 古堡旁有印度餐廳, 陣陣咖喱香, 令人垂涎數百尺
Left Wong Lung Hang and back to Tung Chung Road. I walked along Tung Chung Road for Sheung Lang Pei~ after a few minutes' walk, Tung Chung Fort is just in front of me. There is an Indian Restaurant next to the fort, with the scent of curry in the air that drives you hungry and crazy.








在城牆上行走.
You can also walk on the fort walls.




古舊的鄉村建築物, 有古老的學校.
Very old village school of Tung Chung. (This place used to be the Old Tung Chung Market)






古堡的瞭望屋和炮台.
War relics @ old Tung Chung Fort.




從這個角度看, 有點像回到戰時.
Just like going back to war-time you watch from this side.....
