今早雖然下雨, 但雨勢不大, 大家依照原定計劃, 一於去鯉魚門一遊!! 先在油塘地鐵站 A2出口出發, 沿茶果嶺道前行, 大約步行5-10分鐘, 便到達三家村避風塘, 旁邊便是鯉魚門海產市場的入口. 昔日的三家村避風塘交通不便, 但有了地鐵之後, 來這裡十分快捷, 是一個短遊的好地方.

Rainy this morning but luckily just some showers. We still had our short walk to Lei Yue Mun. Started from Exit A2 of Yau Tong MTR station (go downstairs first), we walked along Cha Kwo Ling Road and within 10 minutes, we already reached Sam Ka Tsuen Typhoon Shelter, Lei Yue Mun Seafood District is just nearby. In the past before the construction of MTR (Kwun Tong line), it took you quite a long time for Lei Yue Mun, but now you can come here within a short time ~ just take an MTR and a 5-10 mins' walk!! A good place for a city walk!










依然保持著舊貌的三家村避風塘~ 昔日的漁民會撐著艇在此經過, 遊客可乘小艇一遊避風塘, 漁民亦會在艇上提供食物, 但因安全理由, 現在艇上已禁止煮食了. (據說昔日漁民真的直接從海中抓起海產, 然後即在艇中烹煮....)
J
Sam Ka Tsuen Typhoon Shelter~ still looks the same as in the past! Fishermen in the past rowed their boats here and asked the tourists whether they would like to have a ride or not..... Then they even cooked seafood for the tourists on the boats~ fishermen lived on the boats, so there was a little kitchen on every boat (now NOT allowed to do so for safety!!). In the past, as I have heard from other people, fishermen grabbed sea creatures directly from the water and then cooked those poor animals in front of the tourists.


開始今日行程.
J
Our trip started from here....










又濕又暗的海產市場~ 遊客的美食樂園, 海產的可怕地獄.
J
The long, slippery and smelly corridor for seafood~ a paradise for seafood lovers, but a horrible HELL for poor sea animals!




一間已倒閉了的海鮮酒家~ 只剩下一隻狗在看守. (記憶中, 2008年來的時候已經倒閉了)
J
A seafood restaurant already closed~ now only a dog acting as the "security guard". (I remember that this restaurant is already "shut down" when I came here in 2008!)




有名的鯉魚門燈塔!!
J
The famous light-tower of Lei Yue Mun!!




鯉魚門海邊~ 對岸是筲箕灣(昔日是漁港!!!), 可看見香港海防博物館!!!
J
Now @ seaside of Lei Yue Mun~ The opposite side is Shau Kei Wan (a fish port in the past), we can also see the HK Museum of Coastal Defense clearly from here.








鯉魚門亦有不少排屋!!!
J
There are also some stilt houses along the seaside of Lei Yue Mun (just like what you can see in Tai O)






海邊有很多村屋.
J
Lots of village houses along the seaside.










一探海邊的天后廟... 然後發現, 天后廟後面有很多古怪的岩石, 大家忍不住不停拍照!!
J
We finally reached Tin Hau Temple... then we found out that there are lots of rocks with funny shapes at the back of the temple, we took many photos @ the seaside at the back of the temple, a really beautiful place!








返回三家村避風塘, 附近有渡輪碼頭, 可往西灣河及東龍島. 有隊友想到東龍島一行, 但要下午3時才有渡輪前往!!!
J
We were back to Sam Ka Tsuen Typhoon Shelter and there is a ferry pier nearby. You can go to Sai Wan Ho or Tung Lung Island from there, see the timetable in the photos for reference. (Tung Lung Island is an outlying island, well-known for camping and rock-climbing, but ferry service is limited~ only available on Saturdays and Sundays, please get enough information for this place before you go)


三家村避風塘的另一邊~ 可看到海鮮酒家及背後的魔鬼山. (魔鬼山上有戰時遺跡)
J
Another side of Sam Ka Tsuen Typhoon Shelter~ you can see lots of floating restaurants here, the hill at the back is called "Devil's Peak"!! (There are war relics @ Devil's Peak)

今早到了大埔火車站後, 本來打算乘坐20C 小巴往烏蛟騰. 但早已有至少60人在排隊, 只好即跑到巴士站乘坐275R. 於新娘潭總站下車後, 沿新娘潭路步行約15 分鐘便可到達烏蛟騰的 "烈士紀念碑". 今早新界地區一直下雨, 到了新娘潭後雨勢更大 (市區可是晴天!!!!!!!!), 但既然來到, 總不成回市區吧!?!?!? 於是打開雨傘繼續前進.
J
When we arrived Tai Po Railway station, we quickly "flied" to the minibus terminus. But there were at least 60 people waiting for a minibus to Wu Kau Tang!! So we rushed back to the bus terminus and got on no.275R for Bride's Pool. The rain didn't stop for a second after we had arrived Tai Po, and when the bus stopped @ the bus terminus @ Bride's Pool, the rain was even heavier and heavier..... (It was fine in the urban area!!!) We took out our umbrellas and continued our visit for Wu Kau Tang, which is about 15 mins' walk from Bride's Pool.








到了烏蛟騰的烈士紀念碑公園(其實十分細小!!!), 太陽出來了, 但仍然是下著雨的.... 怪!!!!
J
Now we were @ the Memorial park for the "Matrys' Cenotaph"~ they were killed during WWII, in the battle with the Japanese troops occupying this place. When we arrived, it became sunny in 1-2 seconds (to welcome us??), but it was still raining.... hahaha!


小徑通往烈士紀念碑的舊址~ 原來烈士紀念碑本來是放置在林中隱閉之處, 2010年才搬到新娘潭路的旁邊!!
J
This path is leading to the original location of the Matyrs' Cenotaph~ The cenotaph was inside the woods in the past, it was moved to Bride's Pool Road in 2010.


雨勢開始減弱, 便步回新娘潭燒烤場, 打算上山看雨後的瀑布. 但豈料進入後, 雨勢卻又突然增強, 河水即時暴漲!!!
J
The rain was becoming light as we were walking back to Bride's Pool Bus terminus. So we decided to go uphill and have a look @ the waterfall before we went back to Tai Po for lunch. But after we had entered the Bride's Pool BBQ site, the rain became heavy again!! Streams began to roar and water poured down like mad.... we were trapped @ the riverside!!!






河水暴漲, 像獅子般吼叫, 一證大自然的威力!! 天氣變幻莫測, 終於被困河邊, 只能待雨勢稍減才能前行.
J
The water level became higher and higher, and also sounded like lion roar!!! A good chance to witness the power of nature!! (Totally NOT a bit funny!!) We were trapped @ the riverside and could not move forward (VERY dangerous!!), nothing we could do, just sat on a big rock and wait for the rain to "pause"....








在石上坐了5-10分鐘, 雨勢減弱了, 但石橋給河水淹蓋, 大家只好跟其他遊人一樣, 脫了鞋子踏入水中過河, 打算到燒烤場的另一邊. 但過河時, 發現水中很多亂石, 如果不小心跌倒, 肯定會給河水沖走, 那就一定淹死... 為了安全, 一致決定不上山看瀑布了, 立即原路徹退.
J
We had sat on a big rock for 5-10 mins, then the rain became light and we continued for our walk. But the bridge was covered by water and we had to take off our shoes in order to cross the river for the other side of the BBQ site. As we were crossing the river, we found lots of sharp stones on the river-bed, if any of us got hurt or fell down, he / she might be "flushed away" and finally drowned... so we just went back to a safe place....






水流很急, 人或狗都寸步難行. 攝影師哥哥非常勇敢, 不惜跟河水搏鬥, 也要拍出完美照片.
J
The water currents were so strong that both the dog and its owners could not move forward!! Our brave Mr. Cameraman was still fighting with the river, in order to get a perfect angle for some photos!!




小狗在急流中玩得非常快樂!!
J
Dogs were having a great time with the water!!!!






我們到了溪澗的另一邊, 這裡有山路, 比較安全, 大家在此稍作休息.
J
Now we moved to another part of the stream. This part is much safer as a footpath is here. We had a rest @ the stream-side.


警告牌通常會在沒有危險時才會被大家發現!!! :D
J
Oooooops!!! Usually we can see a Warning Sign when we are just "escape" from dangers!!! :D
