今天天氣有點陰晴不定, 只選了短遊!!~ 在馬鞍山地鐵站 A出口起步, 至馬鞍山中心 (鞍超街) 附近, 再從雅典居到對面的馬鞍山海濱長廊及烏溪沙青年村!
The weather was still not stable this morning, so we just could have a short walk!!~ Started from Exit A of Ma On Shan MTR station (Ma On Shan Line via Tai Wai railway station), we walked to On Chiu Street (near Ma On Shan Centre), and then we just walked to the seaside, where we could see the Ma On Shan Promenade and YMCA Wu Kai Sha Youth Village.


這片水域名叫"沙田海", 海邊有著名景點~~ 巨型心!!!! 據說是一位退休伯伯的傑作, 很大, 而且由多層石組成, 真正是強風也刮不掉!!! 去年我們也曾用碎石弄了一個小小的心送給大家疼愛的花老 B, 不過一腳便給我們弄散了.....
This place is called "Shatin Sea" (or "Sha Tin Hoi"), there is a very famous "spot" here~~ a JUMBO BIG heart @ the beachside!! This big heart is made by a retired man, with layers of big hard rocks, even won't be blown away during typhoon!! We had made a tiny heart for our beloved Tachibana san near this big heart last year, but it was gone by a "kick" from our team-mates!!




烏溪沙碼頭及馬鞍山一帶的住宅
Wu Kai Sha pier and the residential buildings of Ma On Shan.


這裡可看到大埔洞梓的慈山寺巨型觀音像!!
We could see the big statue of Aryavalokitesvara Bodhisattva from here!! (@ Tsz Shan Temple, Tung Chi Road, Tai Po)








剛下雨, 泥灘上一片濕滑.
Very muddy and slippery @ the wetland after some showers.


大埔的八仙嶺.
Pat Sin Leng (mountain range) @ Tai Po.


一片大大的黑雲正向我們飄來.
A big piece of dark cloud was chasing us!!








海邊有小艇出租.
Boats for rental @ the seaside.






到了渡頭灣村, 海邊有燒烤爐出租及飲品出售, 遊人可自攜食物來此燒烤.
Uncle Happy's BBQ club is at the seaside of To Tau Wan Village, visitors can have a seaside party here~~ bring your own food, just pay and use the BBQ stoves near the beach. (Drinks available from the food stall here)














很快便到了烏溪沙盡頭, 太陽終於出現, 很多人趁水退跑來沙灘玩!!!
Now we were @ Wu Kai Sha, near Whitehead (the sea cape of Wu Kai Sha, Tolo Channel)~ Finally the sun came out and lots of people were playing along the beach during the low tide.


村民在沙灘上曬墨魚及蜆肉......
Poor octopus and clams were dried under the sun....




海灘後面的村落

今天早上仍是陰陰暗暗, 不過沒有下雨, 很幸運!! 一致決定到比較近市區又交通方便的地方一行~~~ 大帽山的川龍!! 在荃灣地鐵站 B出口出發, 在兆和街登上 80號小巴, 轉眼已到了川龍村!! 這裡空氣還不錯, 位處大帽山的山腰非常清涼舒適, 還有水源不絕的大曹石澗.
Quite a cloudy morning but luckily NOT rainy!! We had made up our mind to go for Chuen Lung Village ~~ a place @ the country-side but also easily acceesible from the MTR station. Started from Exit B of Tsuen Wan MTR station, we walked to Shiu Wo Street nearby and got a minibus no.80. Just within 25 minutes, we arrived Chuen Lung Village minibus terminus. Chuen Lung Village is located @ the middle of Tai Mo Shan (the highest peak of HK), the mountain breeze makes this place much cooler than Tsuen Wan Town Centre. Oooops, we even could see "Tai Cho Stream" from here!!




村口的舊村校~~ 貫文學校, 就在荃錦公路旁.
An old village school already disused ~~ Koon Man Public School, @ Route TWISK (the highway which is linking up Tsuen Wan and Kam Tin).


有名的彩龍茶樓~~ 很多人慕名而來, 要一嘗她以大帽山山水所泡的中國茶!!! 雖然沒有素食點心供應, 不過有蒸腸粉, 白灼蔬菜及豆腐花, 一祭大家的五臟廟!!! :P
這裡是自助茶樓~~~ 客人自行拿取食物及自己泡茶, 在露天的地方來個一盎兩件, 亦很有特色!!
Very famous Chinese restaurant of Chuen Lung!!! Many people drive here for dim sum, a perfect place for outdoor "yum-cha"(Cantonese saying of drinking tea with dim-sum) !!! Imagine you can have your Cantonese breakfast (yum-cha) outdoors, with Chinese tea made from stream water of Tai Mo Shan peak?!?!? Sounds COOOL, isn't it!?!?! Especially a fine morning with mountain breeze everywhere.... hahaha!!!
Although no vegetarian dim-sum is available, there are steamed rice noodle rolls, fresh vegetables and sweet tofu pudding suitable for vegetarians.
This is also a self-service restaurant, get your dim sum and tea from the counter and enjoy your food indoors or outdoors as you like!!!!


經村內的主要車道前行...... 三生酒廠在此!!!!
Now we were walking along the main traffic road of Chuen Lung Village..... we saw something here.... Oh, it is Sam Seng Wine (Brewer)!! (A local brand of Chinese herbal wine)




往橫龍方向前進, 直至看見漁農處的小木屋, 亦是郊遊徑的入口.
Moving along the traffic road for Wang Lung, until you can see the green wooden house from the Agricultural, Fisheries and Conservation Department. Here is also the start point of different country trails.




踏上川龍林道, 向響石方向走.
We moved forward to Heung Shek via Chuen Lung Forest Track.


可愛又愛玩的唐狗, 成為今天的導遊, 但牠很貪玩, 還把沙吞下, 我們要阻止亦來不及!!!
Our 4-legged tour-guide walking and playing with us for an hour!! ~~ A lovely dog living near the forest track, it is very energetic but a bit naughty..... It was too late when we were trying to stop him from swallowing sand on the road..... (He vomited badly afterwards but quickly recovered, and then he began to jump happily again!!!! Incredible!!!)


川龍林道全是樹!!
Trees along the forest track.








上山去響石墳場一遊!!
Now we were going uphill for Heung Shek Cemetery.




一覽大帽山及山下的建築物, 想不到這裡亦可看見ICC!!!!
We could see Tai Mo Shan (peak) clearly from here, and even could see ICC building which is in West Kowloon!!!!














回到川龍村, 看見黑草羊及牛在馬路上閒逛.... 非常驚喜!!!
We all became very surprised when we were back to Chuen Lung Village~~ goats and a cow were walking on the traffic road and playing near the village houses!!!
