[ #Parent-child good place ] The princess and the brother who traveled through time and space A few days before the Lunar New Year, the twin mother brought Princess Mingzhu (Yue means shining pearl) and Brother Chen Take a hiking trip through time and space to #TaoFongShan, which is full of Chinese architectural style. We started from Shatin and walked up the mountain. This section of the road is not difficult to walk on, as it is mainly composed of stone slopes and stone stairs. Then we walked to the road and went up the mountain. The stairs were narrow and a little slanted at first, so we had to be careful and hold on to the children walking with us. Later on, most of the stairs were covered with mud, but it was not difficult to walk. Follow us to the #BigCross, where you can sit down in the pavilion and on the rocks nearby, take a short rest, and then continue your journey. Go up to the #smallforest via the #railstairs It turns out that trees in Hong Kong can also grow very tall and beautiful. . Overlooking the beautiful scenery of Shatin from the mountain . Actually, I am a #沙田友, I have lived here for more than 20 years, I grew up here, I am very familiar with it, but I have never tried this mountain road . Continuing along the road, you will see Chinese-style buildings. Inside, there is a Buddhist pagoda-style temple, which reminds people of Taoism in China. However, it is actually a Christian building complex built by Western missionaries. It is a unique place that combines Chinese and Western styles. The children started a journey through time. The Chinese costumes are a perfect match with this white Chinese building! I really want to ask if you are from ancient times? There are also #LotusPond and #MingZhan inside. It's a pity that the lotus has passed its peak blooming period, but the pond view is still beautiful. The Ming Formation looks like a maze, built on a quiet and elegant patch of sand, and is paved with oval stones of similar sizes. It is for spiritual meditation and reflection. #Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Going hiking outdoors not only breathes in fresh air, but also learns new knowledge . Afterwards, we went down the mountain to the Hong Kong Heritage Museum for lunch. Unexpectedly, we took the wrong road and ended up at an ancient city tower. . I thought I could quickly return to the modern era to have lunch, but I was still trapped in the ancient times. . Because they took the wrong route and walked a lot longer, the children were very tired and reluctant to walk on the way to the cultural center. (We had walked for about 2 hours and 35 minutes at that time) At this time, I can only tell the children that they can have lunch and their favorite pancakes soon. . It took 3 hours to complete the journey. Enjoy a hearty lunch at a riverside restaurant in Shing Mun, including pizza , pasta , White Curry Rice , two large waffles (No pancakes, only waffles) + ice cream White Chocolate Coffee . It really multiplies your strength and replenishes your vitality. . After paying the bill, the clerk gave me a red envelope with cookies. , wish you a happy new year~ Before going home, we went bird watching at Shing Mun River , what a great #easteregg at the end . After playing and eating, you can also #watchegrets. Both adults and children are very satisfied and happy . postscript 1) This section of the trail is also suitable for children, but there is only one toilet along the way (near the temple), and it is a squat toilet, which children may not know how to use. There are large rocks and pavilions next to the cross for rest. In addition, there are benches and drink machines near the temple. 2) If you don’t take the wrong road, you can reach the restaurant in about two hours. Alternatively, you can choose to turn back along the way and return to Sha Tin for lunch. 3) The restaurant is Shepherd Boy Coffee-Slow Delivery. The food quality is always good, and the coffee is a must-try, but there is no decaf or other milk options. As for waffles, I have never felt that they are particularly delicious, but the portion is big enough. (The above is purely personal opinion) It is recommended that if you want to dine at this restaurant, you should go early to get a seat. We arrived at around 1:30 pm that day, but there were already many people waiting outside. Fortunately, there were seats outside for the kids to sit and wait. In addition, due to the gathering limit of 2 people, it is more difficult for a family of 4 to wait for a table. If you don't mind sitting in pairs, it is recommended that you buy two tickets for two people instead of one ticket for four people. This way you can get seated and eat much faster.

Behind the big cross there is a Chinese-style door with the word "fraternity" printed on it. Inside there is a rail staircase leading up the mountain. There are several stairs on the left side of the mountain going down, and then walking forward along the road you will reach the Chinese-style building - Tao Fong Shan Christian Monastery. The lotus pond and the Ming formation are also inside. Finally, there will be a small path going down the mountain, with signs saying Jingfengtai and Dongguangtai.
