今早天氣相當寒冷, 又有點暗, 不過大家仍照原定計劃, 來個小夏威夷遊!!! 香港也有夏威夷??? 是的, 就在西貢井欄樹附近, 有一條叫 "小夏威夷" 的行山徑, 不過不算太有名, 今天我們一於到小夏威夷一行!! 乘坐往西貢的巴士(或小巴), 在井欄樹下車, 然後走進村口的行人隧道, 過對面的心朗村及澳頭村, 一直沿澳頭村的方向前進.
Cold, and very humid this morning but we still going for a walk to a special place this time. We were going to "Hawaii" today!! Surprised???!! Hahaha, yeah, there is a place called "Little Hawaii Trail" in Sai Kung, near Tseng Lan Shue, but it is not very well-known. Let's start our trip for Hawaii!! Started from Diamond Hill MTR station, we got bus no.92 (for Sai Kung) and got off @ Tseng Lan Shue bus-stop. Then we crossed the road (Hiram's Highway) via the subway near the entrance of Tseng Lan Shue Village, for Sam Long Village and Au Tau Village at the opposite side. Then just keep on walking to the direction for Au Tau Village.




路上鮮花處處, 因下雨的關係, 石澗充滿了水, 到處有春天的氣息!!!
Flowers everywhere and the stream also filled up with rain water!!!




向澳頭村走, 很快便到了小夏威夷徑的入口.
Just keep on walking to Au Tau Village, the direction sign for "Little Hawaii Trail" is nearby.








小夏威夷徑內到處是花草, 非常美麗.
Flowers and trees all along Little Hawaii Trail, it's really a beautiful place!!!








小夏威夷的景點 -- 瀑布!!! 今天有點微雨, 瀑布的水非常澎湃!!
We went near to the waterfall of Little Hawaii, oh, such a beautiful place!




過橋後, 繼續沿小夏威夷徑前行.
We crossed the bridge and continued our walk along Little Hawaii.


很快到了小夏威夷徑的終點, 在這裡可選擇下樓梯往將軍澳村或左轉去魷魚灣.
It is the end of Little Hawaii Trail. You can either go downstairs to Tseung Kwan O Village, or turn left for Yau Yue Wan (Squid Bay).


下樓梯可往將軍澳村
Go downstairs for Tseung Kwan O Village.




向左轉進入樹林, 可經山路通往魷魚灣.
Or turn left and go through the forest track for Yau Yue Wan (Squid Bay).






山下是寶林一帶.
Buildings of Po Lam, Tseung Kwan O.




繼續沿石屎路前行, 可以到達清水灣. 我們則選擇沿樓梯下山去魷魚灣.
From here, you can keep on walking along this footpath to Clear Water Bay, but we walked downstairs for Yau Yue Wan (Squid Bay).








下山途中, 發現有寶藏在樹林內.
We discovered some antique furniture in the woods as we were walking downstairs. :P


終於下降至寶林北路, 由這裡步行15分鐘便到地鐵站.
Now we were @ Po Lam Road North, you can walk to Po Lam MTR station from here in 15 minutes.








由寶林北路步進魷魚灣村路, 然後沿敬賢里到魷魚灣兒童遊樂場.
We walked along Po Lam Road North and turned to Yau Yue Wan Village Road. Then we went to King Yin Lane and stopped @ Yau Yue Wan Children's Playground.


魷魚灣兒童遊樂場旁有樓梯, 可上去鴨仔山.
You can go upstairs to Duckling Hill from here -- just next to Yau Yue Wan Children's Playground.




路上有涼亭.
Rain shelter on the road.




一直上山, 最後一段的鋼樓梯很傾斜, 上山頂有點吃力.
Keep on going upstairs for the top of Duckling Hill.






終於到了鴨仔山的山頂, 山頂上有健身設備.
Now we were @ the top of Duckling Hill, no ducks here but we could see some fitness tools and a secret garden.




原路下山, 走到魷魚灣村外一看.
We went down the hill from the same way and then had a look @ the entrance of Yau Yue Wan Village (Squid Bay).


今天行程完畢, 大家走向寶林地鐵站.
Now it is the end of our walk, we went to Po Lam MTR station and it was the time to dismiss.

今天大家在中環大會堂集合, 然後乘 13號巴士, 於克頓道下車. 入口就在巴士站旁, 經車路上山, 會接上晨運徑.
We gathered @ the bus terminus outside City Hall (Central) this morning and got the bus no. 13 for Hatton Road. The entrance for Hatton Road is just next to the bus-stop, just walk via Hatton Road and you will see the Morning Trail.


界石
One of the City Boundary stones.




終於到了龍虎山郊野公園, 今天我們會上山頂, 不過上山頂之前, 會先去一探龍虎山的松林廢堡.
Now we were @ Lung Fu Shan Country Park. (Lung Fu Shan is the name for a peak, the meaning in Chinese is Dragon Tiger Hill!!)
Today we were going to the Peak, but before that we were going to have a look @ the disused pinewood battery (war relics) @ Lung Fu Shan peak!!




上行去看松林廢堡.
Now going upstairs for the pinewood battery.
























龍虎山的松林廢堡, 為昔日英軍所建, 有歷史價值.
The disused pinewood battery @ Lung Fu Shan peak was built by the British army long time ago.




離開松林廢堡, 經龍虎山健身徑上山頂, 很快到了夏力道.
Leaving the pinewood battery and we continued our walk via Lung Fu Shan Fitness Trail for the Peak. We arrived Harlech Road in a short time.




再走到旁邊的盧吉道 -- 從夏力道或盧吉道走均可到山頂纜車站, 不過盧吉道的小徑比較長.
Now we turned to Lugard Road -- You can go to Peak Tram station through Lugard Road or Harlech Road, but the trail from Lugard Road is a little bit longer.


路上遇上神像....
Oh, we have met a Hindu God.... (Shiva????)




路上的巨大印度橡樹
Some large India rubber trees along the road.


盧吉道甚巨英式風味,
A typical British style footpath.




今天的空氣質素很差 (這兩星期皆是), 從山上望下去, 全都是灰色的霧.... ICC 和 IFC 都濛濛的.
The air quality for these 2 weeks are really terrible.... we are covered by grey mist. Both ICC (Kowloon side) and IFC (Central) are under the mist.




盧吉道這麼窄, 不知那個笨蛋提議在這裡興建酒店!!!
I strongly disagree to have a hotel built here!!! Lugard Road is so narrow, how can cars move along this road????? Those idiots only have $$$$$$$ signs in their eyes!!




到了山頂!!! 然後從舊山頂道下山, 今天要去探路.
Now we were @ the Peak. Then we moved downhill from Old Peak Road, we were going to have something cool before getting dark.


繼續下山, 向半山的方向走.
Keep on going down for Mid-levels and Central.


猜一猜這是什麼?????? 哈哈, 是旱廁一座!!!! 歡迎來坐!!!
Guess what it is!!!! Hahaha, it is a disused stone toilet (NOT a flush type)!! Welcome and enjoy your time here!!!


路上的乾澗.
A dried stream on the road.


又見界石.
Another City Boundary stone.


來到地利根德徑, 稍為一停.
Now just stopped @ Tregunter Path first.


看見此涼亭, 先走到涼亭後.
Go to the back of this sun shelter first.




涼亭後面有小路, 路上有紅絲帶為記 --- 這條山徑便是有名的 "張保仔古道", 可通往寶珊道, 據說昔日是海盜張保仔的另一個藏寶之地. 當然, 今天你絕不可能在這裡找到寶藏了!!!
There is a long footpath at the back of the sun shelter, which is leading to Po Shan Road, with a red ribbon tied to a tree branch. This footpath is "Cheung Po Chai Ancient Trail" (Cheung Po Chai, the notorius pirate of HK, there is Cheung Po Chai Cave on Cheung Chau Island, which is one of his secret bases for hiding treasure!!)
Cheung Po Chai had hidden his robbed treasure in many places of HK, people believe that he had put his treasure here. Of course you cannot find any treasure from here now.










找不到寶藏, 天已暗了, 大家快快經香雪道及干德道到山下的 SOHO, 再到中環地鐵站.
We didn't find any treasure and it was getting dark.... We walked down from Hornsey Road and Conduit Road for the Mid-levels Escalator (near SOHO), and then down to Central MTR station.
