今早從太和火車站A 出口出發, 穿過錦石新村後, 到達挪威國際學校. 再經石蓮路上山, 很快便到了半春園.
Started from exit A of Tai Wo railway station, then we arrived Kam Shek New Village. Walking via the village road and we reached NIS (Norwegian Internation School) in just a few minutes. Then we walked uphill via Shek Lin Road (the way for Lin Au Village) and finally we were @ Pun Chun Yuen Temple.

半春園內鳥語花香, 冬天亦變得春光明媚. 涼亭和古樸的寺廟, 是絕佳的清修之地.
Beautiful flowers and scenes everywhere in Pun Chun Yuen temple, except some places still undergoing some renovation work. The old temple and pavilions are perfect places for reading and meditation.
