今天天氣極不穩定, 時晴時雨, 不能到郊外遠足, 只能在市郊一行. 於是捨遠而取近, 大家在沙田火車站旁的排頭村出發, 經寶福山對面的村路(可往萬佛寺)到山上的寺院一遊!!!
Due to the unstable weather (sunshine together with heavy rain!!!!), we could not go for a walk in the countryside. So we had a short walk in Shatin~~ started from Pai Tau Village (near exit B of Shatin Railway Station), we walked uphill via the village road, which is inside the village and opposite to Po Fuk Shan, (also for Ten Thousand Buddhas' Monastery) and saw some little temples along the road.


排頭村內的破舊石屋.
A little old hut inside Pai Tau Village.


山上的永和蜂場, 很多蜜蜂四處飛舞.
Wing Wo Bee Farm @ the hillside, with lots of bees flying everywhere!!


小小的精舍.
A little Buddhist Monastery.


山上的石澗, 雨後流水很急.
A stream @ the hillside.








山上的佛教道榮園, 古樸清幽, 與山下繁榮的沙田是兩個不同的世界.
To Wing Yuen Buddhist Monastery @ the hillside~~~ a silent, small and old-styled temple, but it makes you feel calm and comfortable. A complete different world when comparing with Shatin Town Centre, which is just 20-30 minutes' walk from here.


看見寶福山了.
Now we could see Po Fuk Shan.


寶福山內的 Brahma 大梵天 (香港人稱為四面佛)~~ 本為印度教的創造之神, 不過由於信眾甚多, 很多佛寺都供奉了. 沙田車公廟附近的古巖淨院也有一座.
Deity Brahma is @ Po Fuk Shan!!! (People in HK usually call him "Four-faced Buddha", but actually he is the Hindu God of Creation.)~~
Although Brahma is a Hindu Deity, there are many people worshipping him in HK, this is why some temples own a statue of Brahma.
Besides Po Fuk Shan, there is also a statue of Brahma in Koo Yim Ching Yuen (a Buddhist temple near Che Kung Temple in Tai Wai, Shatin).

早上~~ 市區登山行(灣仔):~ 灣仔峽道至姻緣石公園 (11 Aug 2012)
Morning session~~ City Walk in Wan Chai:~ Wan Chai Gap Road to Lover's Stone Garden

由於天雨關係, 今早大家只去了姻緣石公園便下山回灣仔了.
遲些會再安排大家到香港警察博物館參觀.
Due to the thunderstorm this morning, we went downhill for Wan Chai in stead of going to HK Police Museum.
Will go there later again. (皇后大道東胡忠大廈→環境資源中心→灣仔峽道→寶雲道→姻緣石公園→返回灣仔峽道→原路回灣仔)
(Wu Chung House of Queen's Road East [Wan Chai]→Environmental Resource Centre→Wan Chai Gap Road→Bowen Road→Lover's Stone Garden→Back to Wan Chai Gap Road and back to Wan Chai)

由於一向甚少在市區登山, 所以這一個香港有名的景點~~ 姻緣石, 從未看過.
趁本星期六只有早上有空登山, 一於去看, 替花老B 找一個女友!! :P
I seldom go hiking in the city area, so I have never been to the Lover's Stone before.... which is one of the HK's famous scenic spots!!!
As I have another interesting event to attend in the afternoon in Causeway Bay, it is the right time to have a look @ the Lover's Stone... and I also can help Tachibana san to get a girl-friend!!! :D
