今天趁天氣還不錯, 便跟隨跑完馬拉松的大隊到長洲賞櫻花!!! 沒有錯!!! 香港的確有櫻花!!! 就在長洲關公亭旁邊, 一年只有一次, 一次花期都是7-10天左右, 真是機會難逄!!!! 從長洲碼頭出發, 沿學校路上樓梯, 便可看到關公忠義亭!!
The weather was fine today and we all packed up for a "Sakura-watch" after our team-mates were all back from the annual marathon. Sakura-watch in HK???? Yes, there is a sakura tree @ Cheung Chau Island, just next to the Kwan Tai Pavilion!! The cherry blossoms only last for 7-10 days, and just once a year, so we must grab this chance to have a look!! Started from the Cheung Chau ferry pier, we walked via School Road and then went upstairs for Kwan Tai Pavilion.

到了關公忠義亭.
Now we were @ Kwan Tai Pavilion.

美麗的櫻桃樹.
Beautiful cherry blossoms.

櫻花真美!! 小蜜蜂也來湊熱鬧!!! 看見牠嗎???
Beautiful sakura!!! A little bee is also here, can you see it??

看完櫻花, 向觀音灣方向走, 途中看見觀音寺.
We went to Kwan Yam Beach (Aryavalokitesvara Bodhisattva) after the sakura-watch, there is a temple nearby.

觀音廟旁便是小長城的入口, 是一條長長的郊遊徑, 內有很多有名的怪石.
Mini Great Wall, a long hiking path for rock-watching, is near the temple.

饅頭石.... 花老B 有點肚餓了....
Loaf Rock~ looks like a loaf of bread, are you hungry now??

向玉璽石的方向走.
This way for the Yuk Saai (Emperor's Seal) rock

先稍為下山~~ 小心沙路....
Go downslope first~ be careful when you are walking downstairs..

來看長洲最有名的花瓶石.... 像花瓶嗎??
Now take a look @ the most well-known rock of Cheung Chau... Fa Peng (Flower vase) stone.... do you think it looks like a vase??

花瓶石旁的叮噹石, 據說會發出聲音 (是空心的嗎?)
Ding-dong stone, just next to the vase stone. "Ding-dong" is referring to the sound made when the waves hit this rock.

人頭石~~ 的確像一個害羞的少年躲在山邊.
Human Head Stone~~ it really looks like a shy young guy hiding @ the hillside.

崖下風景不錯.
Beautiful scene @ the cliff.

玉璽在此, 還不下跪?!?!??! :D
The Emperor's Seal is here!!! (Yuk Saai Rock)... It's quite difficult to imagine this rock looks like the Emperor's seal!!!

烏龜石~~ 倒真的很像!!!
Tortoise rock~ really looks like a tortoise climbing up to the sea-shore!! But maybe we should call it a turtle.... but the official name is tortoise rock...

殭屍石~~~ 看見殭屍手, 卻不見有頭啊!!!
Zombie stone~~ we can see the 2 zombie "hands", but where is the zombie head????

觀音灣海灘
Kwan Yam Beach.

方便醫院~~ 昔日提供善終服務的地方, 早已荒廢.
Former Fong Bin Hospital~~ actually it used to be a hospital providing hospice services for the elderlies and people who are seriously ill, to take care of them before they pass away.
