From Pak Sha O to Lai Chi Chong 白沙澳至荔枝莊

【Photo Journey】《From Pak Sha O to Lai Chi Chong》: Pak Sha O is a remote area of Sai Kung East Country Park in Hong Kong, amidst is a small village built in the jungle in the mountain valley facing the sea. It has beautiful scenery, just like a paradise.
The village has only a few village folks, some foreigners loved the quiet environment and moved their dwelling to this village. Every time I return to Hong Kong, I love to visit these quiet suburbs. This time, I am glad to have my HKU colleagues Colman Wong and KY Lau as my companions for this one-day sightseeing tour. We learnt from each other exchanging tips and ideas on landscape photography. It was really a fun. Our trip began at Pak Sha O to Lai Chi Chong, going to Sham Chung, Yung Shue O and turning to Shui Long Wo to reach Sai Sha Road for home. As we have spent too much time on our way for landscape photography and were attracted by the beautiful rocks at the Lai Chi Chong Geopark, we have therefore shortened our trip and finally ended at Lai Chi Chong Ferry Pier. We took the ferry to Wong Shek Pier and returned to downtown Sai Kung to complete the Pak Sha O and Lai Chi Chong photography tour.

【光影記行】《白沙澳至荔枝莊》白沙澳是香港西貢東郊野公園的一處偏僻地區,當中的白沙澳村建於向海的密林山谷中,風景優美怡人,尤如世外桃源。村內居民不多,部分洋人卻喜其清幽環境,遷進村內居住。我在返港之時,喜歡走訪這些憇靜的郊區,這次有港大同學黃熾德及劉國裕兄相陪同遊賞景,切磋風景攝影技巧和心得,亦一樂也。原定行程從白沙澳出發,經荔枝莊、深涌、榕樹澳、轉水浪窩到西沙公路回程。由於沿途攝影需時,在荔枝莊沿岸地質公園奇石吸引下,行程縮短到此,於荔枝莊碼頭乘船往黃石碼頭到西貢市中心,完成白沙澳荔枝莊攝影一日遊。
