A day-out on Peng Chau #2
¡@Finally, we stepped on this small island, Peng Chau. It is part of the country park of Plover Cove Area. The rain didn't stop and it's a bit annoying to get rid of the rain drops from above.
On Peng Chau, aged and abandoned houses can be found everywhere. Most houses were made by shale, which is the natural resource of this island. The layer and layer of shale piled up and formed the walls. Moving around the narrow footpaths in the village, we then followed some other guided tours to visit the Tin Hau Temple, which is quite important for fishermen. They worship Tin Hau hoping that they can have a safe and fruitful voyage every time when they go and fish in the open sea . The existence of Tin Hau Temple shows that the main economic activity in the old days of Peng Chau was fishing.
Layers of shale were tilted due to earth movement. You can clearly see that the layers of rocks are not parallel to the land surface.
Miss Szeto and Peggy were 2 of the 3 female participants of this trip.
Cheers! We took this picture in Wong Yeh Bay (¬Ó·ÝÆW).
You can find lots of sea shells on the beach. Just pick up one or two as souvenirs! Below is a place called Ah Mah Wan (ªü¶ýÆW).
All guys were ready to be "shot" except one. Guess who?
The background of the pictures below is part of Mainland China. We were getting very close to our mother country!!
