深入榕樹澳及深涌大草原 (09 Mar 2013)

古怪地名~~ 企嶺下海:
企嶺下海, 非常古怪的名字!!!
來源: "企嶺" 是馬鞍山的舊名, 所以企嶺下海, 即是馬鞍山下的海.
Kei Ling Ha Hoi (Three Fathoms Cove)
Kei Ling Ha Hoi, what a weird name...... you cannot guess the meaning of it....
It's "origin"~~ "Kei Ling" is the old name for Ma On Shan (mountain), "Ha" means below / under something, and "Hoi" means sea.
So, "Kei Ling Ha Hoi" means the sea under Ma On Shan mountain.
Although the official name should be "Three Fathoms Cove", people now tend to use "Kei Ling Ha Hoi", which is translated from the Cantonese pronounciation.

又是一年一度聖誕大長征!!! 遠離嘈雜鬧市人群, 到郊野享受難得的寧靜!! 早上九時在大埔火車站出發, 乘坐往烏蛟騰的 20C 小巴, 約 30分鐘便到了烏蛟騰村!! 下車後向荔枝窩方向走, 綠色的小屋前便是烏蛟騰郊遊徑的入口, 可通往荔枝窩村.
Christmas has come!!! It is also the day for our annual Christmas Long Walk!! A good chance to escape from the crowd and enjoy a really "peaceful" Xmas!! :D
Started from 9 am this morning, we gathered @ Tai Po Market railway station, and then we caught the minibus no.20C (Remember to get the one named "Wu Kau Tang Special Departure"). Within 30 minutes, we arrived Wu Kau Tang. From here, we started our walk to Lai Chi Wo, via Wu Kau Tang Country Trail, which is just in front of this little green hut (a container, actually).




經過重重斜坡, 終於看見往荔枝窩的指示牌, 還有一大段路才到達!!!! 郊遊徑內全是樹林, 空氣非常清新!!
We had walked through lots of steep slopes and steps and finally we could see the direction sign for Lai Chi Wo!!! Ooops, still a long way to go!!! But the cold and fresh air in the forest made us feel Great!!!




一直上山, 終於到了在山頂上的亞媽芴. 昔日這裡原來有村落, 現在仍依稀可見村屋的遺跡. 附近有直昇機坪, 應該是給昔日村民提供緊急救援服務用的.
We kept on moving uphill and now we were @ A Ma Wat, which used to be a very old village in the past, we could still find some remains of old village houses on the ground. There is a helicopter pad near this place, it should be for emergency / rescue purposes.


分水凹的紀念碑-- 為了感謝昔日捐款興建樓梯, 以方便村民出入的善長而立.
Now we were @ Fan Shui Au-- this is NOT a tomb, it is a monument to memorise those who had donated $$$$ for building staircases for the villagers living here decades ago.




沿斜坡下山, 途中會經過珠門田廢村.... 不進村, 沿主路繼續前往荔枝窩.
Going downhill from a slope and you will see an old and abandoned village, "Chu Mun Tin". Don't go to that way, remember to stick to the main road for Lai Chi Wo.






過河後, 很快便會看見此焚化爐, 這裡便是荔枝窩村.
We crossed the river and walked for a while, from here we could see a big chimney and a trash burner (can we call it incinerator?? It is not big enough....)




到了荔枝窩村外, 即進村內參觀.
Now we were @ Lai Chi Wo Village-- a typical Hakka walled village. Let's go inside for a visit!!






古色古香的荔枝窩.
Lots of traditional Hakka village houses here!!!




這裡是慶春約七村廣場.
Now we were @ Hing Chun Yeurk Seven Villages Square (A public square for the 7 villages of Sha Tau Kok).




村內的協天宮及鶴山寺.

今天天氣極佳, 很多遊人都聚在戶外午飯, 雖然氣溫下降但無損大家的興奮.
Sunny and dry today, with lots of visitors having lunch under these banyan trees (including us!!). Although the temperature was low, we still enjoyed a happy day here!!


郊外油菜!!
See what we had ordered -- Fresh vegetables!!!


重點推介 ---> 傳統客家甜點 -- 花生芝麻糯米糍 -- 極之美味, 不吃一個是你的損失!
The best Hakka snacks -- Hakka Mochi (glutinous rice cake), with peanuts and sesame inside, the best mochi I have ever tried!!!


鄰座遊人的客家盆菜宴, 巨型盆菜一個.... 不知有沒有素食盆菜呢????
A big basin @ the table next to ours (Looking for one which is suitable for vegans!!!!!!).... the first time for me to see an authentic Hakka village big bowl feast / basin feast (In Cantonese it is called Poon Choi)!!!!! This is a kind of family reunion meal for Hakka people, with lots of vegetables and meat put into a big basin layer by layer. Really want to order one which is suitable for vegans!!!!
For more information please read "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poon_choi"


千萬不要吃....!!! 這是有毒的癲茄!!!
It looks attractive but it is poisonous!!! --- Soda apple (poisonous tomato)




到荔枝窩的碼頭一遊, 暖窩的獅子看來有點害羞....
Now we arrived the pier of Lai Chi Wo, Tachibana san met a shy lion near the doorway.






海邊看印塘美景.
Had a look @ the beautiful scenes of Double Haven.




上行至風水林看著名的空心樹.
Now we moved to the Feng Shui Woodland to have a look @ the famous hollow tree!!

路途遙遠, 很快便要離開荔枝窩, 向自然步道進發.

We walked via Ha Miu Tin and Sheung Miu Tin, now we were near the end point -- Wu Kau Tang again.




終於到達九担租村, 已累得一團糟.....
Finally we were @ Kau Tam Tso Village..... really exhausted!!!!














來自大自然的一份特別的聖誕禮物!!!!! 在步回烏蛟騰村的途中, 看見大量的楓樹, 紅葉盛放的美景令人忘了疲倦, 即衝到楓林內!!!!!
Merry Christmas!!!!! A big gift from the nature and Santa!!!! When we were going back to Wu Kau Tang village, we saw lots of maple trees along the trail, the beautiful red leaves are so attractive that we didn't feel tired at all, we just running to the trees and had photos with them!!! Thanks Santa!!!
