SPD4459 洗滌心靈篇貳－大帽山 Mind Calming Chapter 2: Tai Mo Shan

荃灣最高的山峰 The Highest Mountain in Tsuen Wan

大帽山是香港最高的山峰，海拔957米。史藉記載此山形如大帽子，故得此名。大帽山昂然屹立新界中部，可以俯瞰香港超過八成半地域。如果想到大帽山觀賞這景色，有很多條路徑可以選擇。以下我會介紹的路徑是麥理浩徑的其中一段路：鉛礦坳à大帽山à荃錦坳(荃錦公路)

Tai Mo Shan is the highest peak in Hong Kong, with an elevation of 957metres. From the history literature mentioned, the shape of the hills like a hat so it is called “Tai Mo Shan”. Tai Mo Shan is located at the centre of New Territories, it is easily to overlook more than 80% Hong Kong view. There are many routes to go there. In the following, I would like to introduce one of the routes: 

Lead Mine PassàTai Mo ShanàRoute Twisk

如要到達鉛礦坳，這裏有兩條路徑。兩條路相差約半小時，詳細資料可見於交通資料。

To arrive Lead Mine Pass, there are two routes to choose. The walking time of the
difference between two routes is approximately 30 mins. You can find more information in the Transportation part

到達鉛礦坳後，已是海沷四百多米。走過全是梯級的路途，斜度遂漸降低，再上行一會，就可以見到這個在海拔700多米的涼亭。你們可以於此處吃些食物，補充體力，再走上大帽山。這涼亭的旁邊，有一條支路，可以通往梧桐寨瀑布群。但相對比較危險，還奉勸不要前往。

After arriving Lead Mine Pass, average height is around 400 meters. Then you walk through all of the stairs, the slope is decreased gradually. After that, you keep on walking upward, you can see a pavilion with average height around 700 meters. You can eat some food in there to increase physical strength and then move on. There are one road to go Ng Tung Tsai Waterfall. It is rarely dangerous so that we don’t recommend you to go there.

往大帽山應沿荃錦公路方向上行，可直達香港最高峰---大帽山。但沿途為陡峭的水泥路，要加陪小心。大帽山的山頂有一座無線電站，最為代表性。大帽山的山頂是禁區，但它附近的地方，都可俯覽四周，差不多可以鳥瞰全港景色。這是一個好的機會讓你洗滌心靈和放鬆自己。

Walking upward the Route Twisk, you arrive the top of mountain- Tai Mo Shan finally. It is necessary to be careful that the concreter road is steep. The top of the mountain have a wireless station that it is the symbolic structure. Besides, the top of Tai Mo Shan is restricted area. You can still observe the nearly panoramic view of Hong Kong nearby. It is a good chance to mind calming and relax in there.

 

經過這段路後，繼續向下走，經過郊野公園的管理站及資訊中心。最後，你見到荃錦公路，即抵達荃錦坳，完成麥理浩徑第八段。

Keep on walking downard Tai Mo Shan Road, you may pass through the management station and information center then arrive the Route Twisk. The journey of MacLehose Trail (Stage8) is finished.
