Going to the campsite!!

昂平高原大草地, 但露營已被禁止, 要去官方營地.
Ngong Ping Plateau!!!
A large piece of lawn, but camping is restricted now.
You have to go to the official campsite for camping and cooking.
Let's see him fly!!!
昂平營地在C3306 附近, 今日會去半日野營, 順便煮點山水沖茶及泡個碗麵
The official campsite (Ngong Ping Campsite) is near C3306.
We are going to have a half-day wild camping here, boil some stream water for tea and instant bowl noodles.
昂平營地其實有點悶熱, 如果要露營, 最好在日間紮好營, 走回昂平大草原玩, 晚上轉涼了才回營地睡覺.
營地沒有什麼風, 晚上反而是個好地方, 不怕帳篷被吹走..
It is quite hot and ventilation is not very good inside Ngong Ping Campsite.
Better to setup your tents or shelters in the campsite first, then go back to the lawn to have a cozy day-time.
Go back to the campsite for a sleep after sunset when the place is not so hot.
As the campsite is surrounded by the forest, it is warmer during the autumn / winter nights, your tents won't be blown away by strong wind.
煮好了食物及茶, 我們都是回到大草原, 營地日間很熱.
今天沒有帳篷, 在昂平大草原直接野餐及午睡, 風大很舒適.
The official campsite is very hot during the day-time, we finished cooking and brought our food and drinks back to the lawn for a picnic.
Just sleep on the picnic mat and enjoy a windy and cozy lunch here.
奀皮仔的抹茶蛋糕.
Pranky with his matcha cakes.
奀皮仔不准其他人吃他的抹茶蛋糕
Pranky, "Go away Donny, these are my cakes!!"
Pranky, "These cakes are mine!! NOT for you, Captain!!"
Pranky, "These cakes are mine!! NOT for you, Captain!!"
太陽開始下山, 我們也要下山回馬鞍山市中心.
Sunset time and the time to go back to Ma On Shan Town Centre.
See you later, Pyramid Hill!
仍有點光, 趕快下山.
Still with a bit daylight, mind your steps when going down to the bus-stop.
天黑前, 走入馬鞍山荒廢了的礦場看一下.
A short adventure before the place is getting dark -- going into the abandoned Ma On Shan mine for a walk.
礦場小屋.
Maybe it is the miners' hut.
最後一線夕陽.
The last bit of sunlight before dusk.
Ma On Shan Bridge.
有汽水機, 下山前仍有補給.
There are some vending machines inside the country park, buy a can of soft-drink before going downhill.
下山了, 之後的路沒有街燈, 要靠月光引路.

The last part of our walk, no street lamps along the traffic road, we have to follow the moonlight along the way.
