南生圍近貌 Changing Face of Nam Sang Wai

My impression of Nam Sang Wai water village came from the movies.  In 2010 I came here but had never reached the river.  This year I came again for seeing the small dock.  Owing to the rapid urbanization, the scene of Nam Sang Wai was unlike the past.  I am afraid that the unique scene of the water village and the communting boat in Nam Sang Wai will disappear forever very soon.

我對南生圍水鄉的印像是從電影中看到的。去年曾到此一遊,但未到水之邊,今次特意來看南生圍的渡頭,皆因急劇的都市化,新界的樸素環境已不復前,恐怕在不久的將來,南生圍的水鄉風貌及橫水渡會從此消失。

路旁雜草高至人頭!
