由於昨天去了看電影, 郊遊在星期日進行!!! 今天天色晴朗又悶熱, 大家來個馬灣(珀麗灣)短遊!!! 先在馬灣公園門前跟鸚鵡螺來個合照.... Cheers!!!
This time our walk is held on Sunday~~ Quite a hot and dry one, so we just went for a short walk @ Ma Wan Island (Park Island). Now Tachibana san was @ the entrance of Ma Wan Park, with this big nautilus... Cheers!!!


嘩, 草叢中有蜥蝪妖怪!!!!
Oh!!! A giant reptilian shape-shifter was found inside the bushes!!! :P






公園內有不少設施, 不過不包括袋鼠!!!!
Lots of interesting places in the park, but kangeroos are NOT included!!


過於人工化的彩虹瀑布!!!!
Rainbow waterfall~~ too artificial!!!!!!!!!!!!!






公園最頂點的瞭望台
The top of the park~~ a lookout spot




馬灣美景
Beautiful scenes of Ma Wan Island.


太陽館
Solar Tower.


馬灣的教堂
A church.




馬灣營舍.
Beautiful hostels of Ma Wan Solar Tower Camp.




馬灣營舍的其中兩位舍監
Two of the wardens of Ma Wan Solar Tower Camp.
Should we call them "Solar Warden"???? :P
If you don't understand, search from Yahoo for the real meaning of "solar warden", Hahaha!!


營舍後面有樓梯, 可下去馬灣大街.
Go downstairs from the back of the hostels, and back to Ma Wan Main Street.






日光下的汲水門橋真美!!!
Kap Shui Mun Bridge looks more beautiful under the sun.




馬灣舊村及天后廟.
Ma Wan Old village and Tin Hau Temple.




馬灣後街的村落已荒廢.
The whole village of Ma Wan Back Street is abandoned. Nobody is living there now.


走到馬灣漁民村.
Now @ Ma Wan Fishermen Village.


漁民村後面的魚排.
Rafts (for keeping and raising fish) at the back of Fishermen Village.


野生的辣椒!!!!!!
Chilli trees everywhere in the wild!!!! (100% gurantee they are organic, all natural soil with no chemical fertilizers)




已無人居住的漁民村, 非常蒼涼.
Nobody is living in the Fishermen Village now, only old stone houses are left.




漁民村的村屋內裡非常古老, 這些裝修擺設已難在市區找到.
Have a look inside the old village houses of Fishermen Village~~ these old-styled decorations cannot be found in the urban area now.




從漁民村走到山下的鳳城村, 這裡的村屋雖無人居住, 但保養甚佳, 看起來有香港 60年代的風味, 外型真的不錯.
We walked downhill from Fishermen Village and now we were @ Fung Shing (Phoenix City) Village~~ the village houses here look more luxury than the others (Just like the rich people's houses in the 1960s)!! Although no people are living here now, they are still kept in a good condition. (Quite sure the owners come here to do some maintenance / sweeping work very often!!!)




另一所古樸的村屋.
Another old village house at the oppposite side.








已翻新了的芳園書室(昔日是馬灣及大嶼山大青洲, 草灣及花坪居民子弟的村校!!), 現在變了紅色, 不及舊貌有特式.
Fong Yuen Study Hall (A former village school for the students from Ma Wan Island and North-east Lantau) after renovation work~~ now it is in red, but I still think the old look is better!!


翻新前的芳園書室 (2010年)~~ 我還是覺得綠色比較好看!!!
Fong Yuen Study Hall before renewal (2010) ~~ I still think it looks much better in GREEN!!!!!

很久沒有一個天色晴朗的星期六, 雖然今天有 34-35度, 但仍無損我們郊遊的興致!!! 在東涌乘坐11號巴士來到大澳後, 立即在大澳街市一邊過橋一邊欣賞水上風光!!
Havn't got a fine Saturday for the past 2 weeks but finally it becomes sunny today!! Although the temperature has risen to 34-35C, we still went out for a walk this morning. Started from Tung Chung, we took NLB bus no.11 for Tai O~~ then we rushed to Tai O market. In there, we enjoyed the sunshine and beautiful scenes of stilt houses as we were crossing the bridge.


東京碼頭???? 我們不是在日本啊!!!
Why this place is called Tokyo Pier?????? We were NOT in Japan!!






棚屋加上山景海景, 非常合襯.
Wonderful oil paintings~~ Stilt houses with boats, mountains and sea.




在新基橋上.
Now @ Sun Kei Bridge.




在象山腳下, 山景極為迷人.
Now we were @ the bottom of Elephant Hill (in Cantonese it is called Pak Shan or Cheung Shan). GREEN Power!!!!


寶珠潭.
Po Chu Tam (looks like a piece of emerald floating on the water!)




向龍巖寺方向走, 中途有小路.... 原來是通向昔日的方便所(停屍間)!!!
Now moving to the way for Lung Ngam Temple... and there is a footpath in the middle of the road...?!?!? Take a look first.....Ooops, it is the way for the old mortuary (also served as hospice in the past), and Tai O Cemetery is nearby.




方便所附近的漁塘及農地.
A big fish pond and pieces of farmlands near the mortuary.


路上有聖誕樹???? 哈哈, 這裡便是龍巖寺了.
How come there is a Christmas tree on the road???? Ooooops, we have arrived Lung Ngam Temple!!








龍巖寺景色不錯.
Nice scenes @ Lung Ngam Temple!!


橫坑村內的華光古廟.
A little temple (Wah Kwong Temple) in Wang Hang Village.






漫遊橫坑村.
Wondering around @ Wang Hang Village.




寧靜的橫坑村.
Wang Hang Village~ a really nice place!


回程時走到石仔埗, 特地前往有名的糯米糍店買點來吃!! 這老店有大煙囪為記認, 糯米糍以柴火烤製, 非常美味!!!!
We went to Shek Tsai Po before leaving ~~~ yep, we came here for its famous rice cakes!!! This old shop with a big chimney is the one selling very delicious hand-made rice cakes!!! They still use firewood for steaming, that is why the rice cakes are so delicious!!
