HKCC+Map Walk @ Wah Fu (I)

Had my first visit of HK Country Club for an hour of free bowling game on my own between 10-11 am, it's part of the Sport Fun Day co-organised with the LCSD. Walked a bit to the WCH Stadium for the #73 bus since I just missed it outside the Club, and it took sometime for the next one. Got off at the Wah Fu (I) Mall for lunch while waiting for my friend. Just when we're leaving, it began to pour, so we're kept there for a longer period before starting our map walk at the estate.

A walk along Lam Kam Road 4/7/22

Only realised that the volunteer job was cancelled upon arrival... Waited for about an hour till the torrential rain had alleviated a bit before leaving. Strolled along Lam Kam Road, visited 放馬莆(林村許願樹) and had lunch there before moving on and dropped for a visit at Botanic Union, a floral farm. Arrived at 鄧氏的敬羅家塾 at around 1pm, it's lucky that the guard had her lunch there and didn't lock the door. The venue where I took a map walk last week was nearby, so I checked a few of the places again since it's too dark last time. The last stop was 廣福橋, seeing that the decorated boats for the 25th handover anniversary were still there, I decided to go along the riverside to the end of the boat queue. Perhaps it's more attractive after dark when their lights were on.

維港兩岸遊 1/7/22

free travels: After visiting Kowloon Park, took a free #1 bus to the pier for the free Star Ferry to Central. Already typhoon signal #3, unlike this morning, heavy shower had first arrived since I was waiting for the bus in TST. When another shower occured, I decided that it's tea time. The rain began to pour and I could only leave when it's alleviated a bit. I was still a bit reluctant to leave, however, the Observatory had already announced that signal #8 might be hoisted after 6 pm. Went to the miniature show of HK at Central Market, took the free tram to somewhere near EAB HQ, entered the buildings for a rain-free walk to the Statue Square for a pic of the 25th anniversary of the Handover installation. Went to City Hall via the subway, upon realising that the 60th anniversary exhibition had ended last month, I took the advice for a visit of a Chinese painting and calligraphy exhibition instead. Took several more pics of the exhibition in front of the Lower Block before hurried back home.

Tai Wo_Yuk Sau_Pine Hill 大窩_玉秀峰_松嶺 13/6/22

間中陽光 BF1  31oC photos 相簿:[牛遊]
太和站乘21B小 巴($6.8),遲了下車,結果在總站元嶺村牌坊醒覺,幸好往車尾走近百米便到大窩村牌坊[0902]。稍後步行前來的山友到了, 便一起去探路口,先到村公所附近停車場另一邊下去[0922],繞過村屋到林邊查看,路是有的,但始終不是原先計劃走的,於 是回走少許入另一支,往剛才牌坊可通過來的路口續前行,入右支過小橋,便是有青苔的孝子路了[0932],回頭等候大遲到的 山友>近十時匯合後才折返登該山嘴。路徑明顯,過了墳地[1001],大致似是行走於電纜棟樁間,不時有莫明的路口,而且通 常也有標>一不留神見有落谷位的路也照落,因記得有段類似的路,可是走過泥濘斜坡來到淺溪時,發覺上游不見了,只有鋪 天蓋地的藤蔓,小溪在數米外於長草間轉彎,不能見到通哪。查看手機才知偏離了,上行折返alt.~60m,原來左支有更多標。 入內前行至alt.~80m時卻又再分支,先依原訂路線下行,但見最底是片滿地泥巴的小平地[1023],沒見對面是否有路口。於是 折返探那更多路標的左支,原來它一直偏左上行,不似會接去原定的211山頭,反而可能直接去玉秀峰。由於不知該段難度,還 是返回踩過那泥巴地,幸好對面路口無塌樹或山泥,只是頗陡的林徑>出林後漸平緩,卻也不肯定見到的是否從另一主脊接上 來的路口,大概是太密了。走過少段維修級[1104]它便右轉走,我們只有接回山徑,一會便是期待已久的211山頭的涼亭了 [1108]。路人告訴我們不久前曾有電纜工程,因此原本好密的山徑變得較明顯了。事實上她不知沿途仍有不少神秘路口呢,雖 然少部份似通去電纜棟樁,但大多不肯定通往何處>小休後沒被下通大埔頭的梯級吸引到,堅持沿衛徑登玉秀峰[1140]測量墩 >前行入右支,初段風景開揚,遠眺馬鞍山至大埔頭一帶,接天梯[1144]落匡智松嶺中心[1221],出頌雅路,穿過停車場頂往 富亨[1234]美食廣場午膳>沿南運路南行,過林村河,於寶湖路入東昌街,繞到麗湖閣後巷,因不想攀過山腳那邊的欄杆。繞 走萬四長園,終於見到平時自巴士上見不到的那面,原來附加了一棟較新但無特色的樓房[1439]>其正門位於廣福道,鄰居就 是小崗下的紅磚馬伕小屋Groom's Cottage[1444]。巴士站旁兩隻鷺鳥在馬路邊走動,樹下滿地雀屎,原來對面更多。山友告知 那是新聞提過的鷺鳥林,那麼即是綠匯學院所在的圓崗了。這邊的崗頂是挪威幼稚園[1452],它曾是高級警官宿舍,可惜不許 內進。

M+ museum > Cultural Ctr 7/6/22

首次參觀,即場也有位。感覺似偽術,大多不吸引,似任何人也可做到,只少部份例外,主要為商業作品。看罷急步往文化中心捧友人的國畫展場,雖多為臨摹大師,但水準比M+的高很多。
