今早由西貢碼頭出發, 乘坐往海下灣的 7 號小巴, 於白沙澳下車, 再慢慢步向荔枝莊. 全程石屎路, 毫無難度.
We took minibus no.7 (for Hoi Ha Wan) from Sai Kung pier this morning. Then we got down @ Pak Sha O. From there we started to walk through a very hiker-friendly footpath for Lai Chi Chong.








極之美麗的白沙澳村.
Pak Sha O village is very beautiful!!! The whole place is surrounded by flowers and trees, with all the residents are expats.




到了荔枝莊.
Now we were @ Lai Chi Chong.










荔枝莊村, 寧靜古樸的典型客家村.
Lai Chi Chong Village -- a typical Hakka village with only a few residents living in.






荔枝莊村內的溪澗, 露營人士的水源.
A river of Lai Chi Chong Village, campers get water from here.










村內的大片草地, 牛與狗也一起生活.
A big piece of grass in the village, with dogs and cows living together.




海邊的景色極佳, 今天有很多人來游泳!!!
Very beautiful scenes @ the seaside!!! Lots of campers were swimming here today!!


荔枝莊地質公園就在碼頭旁.
Lai Chi Chong Geopark is just @ the pierside.










大家沿著海邊走.
We started our walk along the seaside.




在海邊看見不少乾涸了的珊瑚.
We saw lots of dried corals along the seacoast.


突然現身!!
A little crab suddenly came out!!


荔枝莊碼頭
Lai Chi Chong Pier.




有潛水人士在海邊抓海贍, 還即時打開來吃 --- 不過在地質公園內捕海產好像是不合法的!
We saw some divers came up from the water with sea urchins!! They opened and ate them @ the pier. But it is illegal to catch marine life @ marine parks or geoparks!!!




碼頭旁突然出現UFO???? 這些小型無人駕駛器是天文台用作收集氣象數據之用.
UFOs suddenly appeared???? This drone is from HK Observatory, for collecting weather data.




是時候坐小輪回馬料水了.
Now it is the time to go back for Ma Liu Shui Pier.

今天又來大浪西灣!!!! 不過在走向西灣村之前, 先在西灣亭往左邊走, 到鹿湖郊遊徑看一下. 上了一段石級後, 便是吹風坳 (不是往西灣村那邊的吹筒坳!!!), 附近有小鹿斑比的標柱為記. :P
We went for Tai Long Sai Wan beach again today!!! But before going to Sai Wan Village, we had a look for Luk Wu (Deer Lake) Country Trail first. Started from Sai Wan Pavilion, we turned left and walked along the traffic road (Sai Wan Road). After going upstairs for a while, we reached Chui Fung Au (Please note that this side is NOT "Chui Tung Au" --- which is near Sai Wan Village). You will see a distance post with Bambi's head on it :P, showing you that you are ready for Deer Lake (Luk Wu).


由於時間不多, 我們只稍作停留, 鹿湖郊遊徑的風景不錯, 但全程都無遮掩, 很熱, 冬天才會再來.
As we didn't have enough time for a walk, we only stayed @ Luk Wu Country Trail for less than 30 minutes!! The mountain scenes are great throughout the trail, but you will be under the sun for the whole walk, very very hot especially during summer time. We will come again this winter.


往西灣村途中, 在路上發現一條秘道, 內有小塘及小型瀑布!!
We found a "secret path" when we were going to Sai Wan Village. There is a pond and a little waterfall inside.




到了西灣村, 先在大浪西灣的海邊茶座來個冰凍豆腐花.
Now we were @ Sai Wan Village. We had a chilled sweet tofu pudding @ the seaside cafe of Tai Long Sai Wan beach.




今天很熱, 很多人在大浪西灣游泳.
Very hot today (30C !!!) and many swimmers came early in the morning!!!


過橋可通往咸田 (麥理浩徑), 但我們先往橋後左邊的小路.
This bridge is the way for Ham Tin beach (part of MacLehose Trail), but before crossing the bridge, we had a walk via the footpath at the left side, @ the back of the bridge.






由此路進入, 一直向前走......
We kept on walking along this way.....








終於走到雙鹿石澗, 四疊潭的下游!!! 此處只是入澗位, 一直沿路爬上岩石, 後面可看到瀑布.
Now we were @ the lowest part of Double Deer Lake, this side is called "Sei Dip Tam". You can keep on walking along the footpath and climb up the rocks for waterfalls and other ponds!!!




看完石澗, 返回麥理浩徑.
We did not have much time to go for the waterfall, so we kept on our walk for MacLehose Trail.


離開大浪西灣了.
Time to say "good-bye" to Tai Long Sai Wan beach.






山上的日昝及營地.
A sun dial and Sai Wan Camp site on the hill.


在舊旅遊書中找到此地圖, 圖中顯示在西灣營地附近有清代古墓..... 我們今天要找出此古墓!!
I got this old map from an old travel book --- there should be an ancient tomb (built in the Qing Dynasty!!!) near Sai Wan Camp Site!! We were looking for this old tomb this morning!!




找了一段路也沒發現, 正打算放棄時, 赫然發現草叢中有白色墓碑!!! 找到古墓了, 不過古墓已經過修葺, 沒有一點清代的痕跡.
We havn't found anything along the way but suddenly we saw white tomb-stone inside the grass!!!! Yes, this is the ancient tomb (Qing Dynasty)!!! But as the tomb has been renewed, it does not look like a Qing style tomb any more!!!!




終於走到咸田了.
We were near Ham Tin Beach.






咸田美景 -- 有瀑布!!!!!
Beautiful scenes of Ham Tin --- with a waterfall!!!


又要過橋, 橋面又窄又不平, 很怕會掉進水中!!!
I hate this "bridge"!!! Narrow and uneven, I nearly fell into the water!




咸田村.
Inside Ham Tin Village.


突然有一只大蟹與我們同行!!!
A big crab walking with us!!






到了大浪的大圍村, 我們停下來吃午飯 --- 蔬菜炒飯..... 另有非常特別的餸菜 --- 炒紅菜頭, 而且還是新鮮採摘的!!!
We arrived Tai Long Village (Tai Wai), and we stopped here for lunch --- fried rice with vegetables, and a special order --- fried beetroot!!! The beetroot is freshly picked and cooked!!!!


走向赤徑.
Going to Chek Keng.






到了赤徑碼頭, 乘小輪到黃石碼頭
Now we were waiting for a ferry for Wong Shek Pier from Chek Keng.


在黃石碼頭等候回市區的巴士.
