今天非常清涼, 早上雖然天色曾經非常陰暗, 但來到沙頭角後便陽光普照, 令人興奮!!! 從鹿頸村的小巴站出發, 來到對面的雞谷樹下, 開始前往谷埔. 沿途一片鮮綠, 但見鳳坑燒烤場已關閉, 給雜草吞噬了.
Much cooler this morning but still very dark and cloudy. Luckily it became sunny when we arrived Sha Tau Kok!!! Started from the minibus terminus @ Luk Keng Village, we walked to "Kai Kuk Shue Ha" @ the opposite side and started our hike for Kuk Po. The Fung Hang BBQ site is already closed and being "swallowed" by the shrubs.




走到鳳坑村了.
Now @ Fung Hang Village.


鳳坑村附近有個連島沙堤, 平時給水淹著, 難得今天大潮退, 我來了這裡多次, 都是第一次能走上去!!!!!
There is a tombolo near Fung Hang Village, and the tide was extremely low this morning so that we could have a walk on it!!! I have been to this place many times but it is the FIRST time I can walk on it!!! GREAT!!










一遊連島沙堤!!!
Had great fun @ the tombolo!!!




到了谷埔, 一邊賞鳥, 一邊在宋伯山水豆腐花吃茶點 -- 美味蕃薯餅, 花生糯米糍及南瓜茶果.
Bird-watching @ Kuk Po, together with excellent Hakka dim-sum @ the pier-side.... Steamed sweet potato cakes, peanut mochi and pumpkin sticky rice cakes.




谷埔村內的鄉鎮幹部基地......!!!
There is a "villages and towns officer training quarter" setup by China in Kuk Po Village.....


沿谷埔碼頭後面的沿海山路走, 向荔枝窩方向前進, 可達已荒廢了的榕樹凹古村.
Now we were going to an old and abandoned village -- Yung Shue Au Village. Just walk along the seaside mountain trail at the back of Kuk Po Pier, to the way for Lai Chi Wo.






山上的地藏菩薩像.
There is a statue of Ksitigabha Bodhisattva on the hill.


對岸已是深圳了.
Shenzhen is at the opposite side, very near this place.


繼續沿山路往榕樹凹.
We kept on walking to Yung Shue Au.




看到樓梯, 下去便是榕樹凹廢村.
We just went downstairs for Yung Shue Au village.










榕樹凹村已荒廢多年, 到處是古老村屋.
Yung Shue Au village is abandoned decades ago, there are old village houses everywhere.










往荔枝窩方向走, 後面有大量荒廢村屋, 再繼續走可走到鎖羅盤.
There are lots of old village houses along the way for Lai Chi Wo. If you keep on walking to the end of the road, you can enter the mountain trail for another old village -- So Lo Pun (not part of our walk today).
















榕樹凹古村探秘, 實在太好玩了!!!
It is really GREAT to have fun in an old village!!!!!! Hakka heritage everywhere!!! Have fun and enjoy your adventure here!!




不知不覺走到榕樹凹海邊.
We had fun among the empty village houses and did not notice that we were already @ the seaside of Yung Shue Au.












走到榕樹凹的內湖, 深秋下的湖光山免特別美麗!!!
We were @ the pondside of Yung Shue Au. The autumn scenes near the pond are wonderful!!!!








榕樹凹(坳)村的另一邊, 亦有很多荒廢村屋.
Another side of Yung Shue Au Village, with lots of old houses also. There were hundreds of residents living here decades ago!!!!


返回谷埔村, 已是黃昏, 是回市區的時候了.
Back to Kuk Po Village.... it was getting dark and time to go back for a train!!!

今天比較清涼, 開始來個登山樂. 今天的目標是易行又交通方便的筆架山. 先在豐力樓巴士站集合, 再一起沿龍欣道上山.
Much cooler today and let's have a mountain walk early in the morning. This time we were going to the top of Beacon Hill!! Started from the bus-stop near Phoenix House, we walked along Lung Yan Road for Beacon Hill.




沿龍欣道上山, 很快去到綠色閘口, 穿過閘口後面是龍欣道的另一邊, 可通往筆架山及沙田坳.
We kept on walking along Lung Yan Road and we saw a green gate with "Radiation Risk" here. Just keep on walking at the back of the green gate for Lung Yan Road, you can reach the top of Beacon Hill and Shatin Pass later.




當你看到郊野公園的指示牌, 你可選擇繼續走龍欣道上筆架山的山頂(是平坦車道), 或沿林徑上山頂.
When you can see this information board (with a detailed map), you can either continue walking along Lung Yan Road for the hill-top, or turn right and walk upstairs via the forest trail for Beacon Hill.










筆架山的山頂, 是民航處的雷達站, 不能進入.
There is a radar station @ the top of Beacon Hill, setup by Civil Aviation Department, entry is strictly prohibited.










雷達站附近很荒涼.
Nobody was around the radar station today.






向沙田坳 (獅子山) 方向前進, 這裡仍可看見雷達站旁的白色龍珠.
Now we were going to the way for Shatin Pass (Lion Rock), we could still see the white dragon ball @ Beacon Hill, just next to the radar station.


在草叢中發現黃絲帶!!!
We found a yellow ribbon tied to a branch!!! Umbrella Movement in the grass??


開始看到獅子山了.
Lion Rock is not far from us.






在筆架山的觀景台小休, 順道一覽九龍全景.
Dim sum time @ Beacon Hill Viewing Point!!! Panorama of Kowloon is just in front of our eyes!






筆架山上的記號及地洞 16號.
A military marker stone (top) and tunnel no.16 @ Beacon Hill.




走到獅子山旁, 到達九龍坳.
Now we were next to Lion Rock --- @ Kowloon Pass.


超可愛的賓尼兔型史納莎!!!
A very cute bunny-shaped miniature Schnauzer!!!!






孫悟空與同伴出巡.
A journey to the West @ HK -- Monkey King with his mates came out for a walk today!!








往橫頭磡方向下山, 可到達天馬苑.
Now we went downstairs for Wang Tau Hom, near Tin Ma Court.




到了山下的獅子山公園, 可在竹圜道乘 72號小巴往鑽石山地鐵站.
Now we were outside Lion Rock Park (NOT Lion Rock Country Park, please don't mix up), you can take minibus no.72 for Diamond Hill MTR station @ Chuk Yuen Road.
