已停止使用的粉嶺--沙頭角線: 孔嶺分站
Idled Fanling←→Sha Tau Kok Railway : Hung Leng Station!!!

粉嶺--沙頭角線建於1911年, 1912年通車, 但於1928年已停駛.
孔嶺分站建築物則仍然存在, 而大部份車軌已給叢林掩沒, 只有小段在沙頭角石涌凹的塘肚村內.
(Fanling←→Sha Tau Kok Railway was built in 1911, started its service in 1912, but stopped service from 1928!!!! Hung Leng Station is the ONLY railway station still exists. But part of the railway is still left along the former Sha Tau Kok restricted area, in Tong To Village.)

Details of the idled railway and photos related (Chi version):

荒廢了的孔嶺火車站, 位於高埔北村的對面, 面對沙頭角公路的往粉嶺方向. 車站已給鐵絲網圍堵, 不能走近.
Location of the Idled Hung Leng Railway Station~ At the opposite side of Ko Po Village (North), just facing Sha Tau Kok Road, @ the way for Fanling.
The station is now surrounded by wire fences, we cannot go near it.

今天大家在粉嶺先乘52K 小巴, 至高埔村下車. 即見已荒廢了八十多年的孔嶺火車站在沙頭角路上 (往粉嶺方向那一邊).
孔嶺火車站已給鐵絲網圍著, 大家只能從引水道後面進入, 再在樹叢中間隔著鐵絲網拍攝, 不過由於車站深入叢林中, 避過風吹雨打, 所以即使已荒廢了八十多年,
仍然不算太殘舊. 不過粉沙線的路軌大都已毀壞, 如此特別的文物政府也不好好保存, 實在太可惜了.

We took a minibus (no.52K) from Fanling terminus and got down @ Ko Po Village (Better take a bus if you are not sure where to stop).
Then we could see "Hung Leng Railway station", which was part of the idled Fanling--Sha Tau Kok Railway, now is still on Sha Tau Kok Road,
just at the opposite side of Ko Po Village (The way for Fanling). But the whole station building is now surrounded by wired fences, and nobody can enter.
So we had to enter from the catchwater, and then took photos outside the fences.
Luckily the whole station building is located inside the bushes, so even it is idled for over 80 years (Not in service since 1928!!!),
it still looks quite new. But most of the railway are already covered by bushes, or even demolished and disappeared.
Now only the part inside Sha Tau Kok Farm of Tong To Village (Near Shek Chung Au) are still in good conditions.














78K 巴士至龍躍頭站, 先參觀龍躍頭文物徑的北段 (終點為小坑村).

J

We took a bus (78K) and got down @ Lung Yeuk Tau bus-stop. Then we started our walk from Lung Yeuk Tau Heritage Trail (North),
which ends @ Siu Hang Village.
































古式古香的村屋, 非常有趣.

J

Lots of Hakka style village houses along the trail.








花老B 給巨型的花精靈抓著了!!!!

J

Giant flowers had caught Tachibana san!!!








此小路可通往覲龍圍及小坑村, 在一堆石屋附近, 要花一點時間去找.

J

A little footpath leading to Kun Lung Wai and Siu Hang Village, near a "group" of stone houses, you may need to take a few minutes for finding out this footpath.














到達覲龍圍!! 典型客家圍村.

J

Now we were outside Kun Lung Wai, a typical Hakka walled village.
In the past, walled villages were built due to these purposes~ to group villagers together, and let them take care of each other,
and also can protect the whole village from intruders during the war time.
When the main village door is closed, nobody can go inside as the walls are high and surround all the village houses.
It was very useful during the time when there were civil wars and riots.
Walled villages are common in the rural area of HK, as most of the people living in the New Territories are Hakka people.














非常友善可愛, 卻有點害羞的唐狗, 牠今天一直問我們拿面包!!! 還讓我們摸牠的頭!! 我真的很想把牠帶回家!!!

J

A very lovely mongrel, but a little bit shy!! This little boy asked us for some bread, and even let us pat his head!!
I really want to take him home!!




















進入小坑村附近, 可見梧桐河, 很多人在河邊玩.

J

Now we were going to Siu Hang Village. When we walked near River Indus, we could see lots of people were playing @ the riverside.




















小小的小坑村, 內有小巴站.

J

A small village~~ Siu Hang Village, with a minibus terminus inside.














小坑新村比較新淨, 內裡有不少農地.

J

Siu Hang New Village is nearby, it looks "newer" and with lots of farmland inside.














離開龍躍頭文物徑的北段, 現在往龍躍頭文物徑的南段, 在龍躍頭村公所附近, 入口在萃雲路.

J

We left the north part of Lung Yeuk Tau Heritage Trail and then moved to the South part, which is near the village committee office, @ Sui Wan Road.








傻傻的鬥牛梗犬, 以無奈的眼神望著我的相機.

J

A lovely bull terrier with a "silly" face, looking at my camera as it walked on the road.














第一站是永寧圍.

J

The first stop is Wing Ning Wai, a walled village.


























向永寧村進發.

J

Now moving forward for Wing Ning Village.




















荒廢了的田地上有不少很漂亮的舊村屋.

J

A number of beautiful old village houses on the abandoned farmland.














不少村屋位於龍山的山腳下

J

Many village houses are located @ the bottom of Lung Shan hill (Dragon Hill).














著名的景點~ 老圍.

J

A famous historical spot~ Lo Wai Walled village




















松嶺鄧公祠.

J

Chung Ling Tang's Ancestral Hall~ In the past, all the villagers lived here belong to the Tang's family!!
Tang's family is the "Biggest" Hakka family in HK, with lots of family members living in the New Territories, from Yuen Long to Fanling.














天后廟在此!! 廟後另一個天地~~ 長滿七彩鮮花的後花園!!

J

Now we were @ Tin Hau Temple. It is different at the back of the temple~ a large piece of "backyard", with lots of flowers in different colours!!


























到了麻甩圍.... 不.... 錯了, 應該是麻芴圍, 很有趣的名字!!! 典型的圍村.

J

Now we were @ Ma Wat Wai, or Ma Wat Village, a typical walled village.








麻芴圍的村公所.

J

Village committee office of Ma Wat Wai walled village.








強烈對比~~ 新式大廈與鄉村農田!!! 此地有不少農田, 現代農民已很現代化了, 不會有牛在耕田.

J

A strong comparison~ High-rise buildings and farmlands!!! There are still lots of farmlands here, but farming is modernised now, you won't see any buffalos pulling the plows now.




















期待已久的景點~~ 石廬鬼屋, 可惜入口已封閉, 只能遠望. 究竟是否有鬼??? 哈哈!! 只是一些村內的孩子說那是鬼屋而已.
不過石廬已荒廢了很久, 早給重重大樹包圍, 要"鏟林" 才能走近, 不知內裡會否有很多蛇.....

J

Very excited as we went near and near... Shek Lo House!!! The kids in the village said that this old stone house is haunted,
and they won't go there!!! But we could see that the main entrance and another little entrance are all locked.
But we could see that the stone house is now being "wrapped" by many layers of trees and the grass is as tall as an adult.
You will need to cut all the grass if you want to go near. There may be lots of snakes inside those bushes.....
It really looks like a haunted house and we are not sure whether it is dangerous or not if we go into the forest.
So we just took some photos and left.








最後一站~ 祟謙堂, 建於1951年.

J

The last historical spot~ Tsung Kyam Church, which is built in 1951.
