HK Oct 2007 Day 6: journey to Nam Sang Wai

Turns out to get to Nam Sang Wai, you walk along Nam Sang Wai road, which is along the Kam Tin and Shan Pui river. The walk there, all 4 km of it, is very easy to describe.

The way ahead and back is road:





There are electric wires once in a while.



Right is the Kam Tin River, with flocks of cranes and ducks.



Left is the fenced up mongrove-y area, Nam Sang Wai proper.





Towards the end is a big empty field where people play with model helicopters:


or with their dogs [Keith and Toby, Keith is the one in the picture]:


When it gets bored, I disregard signs like that:


And go to the edge of the river.

HK Oct 2007 Day 6: entrance to Nam Sang Wai

So I managed to shake off my traveling companions for the day. Rather than spend the day moping and sulking in the room over the internet, I decided to visit Nam Sang Wai, where I can mope and sulk by the swamp and jump in when I've had enough of moping and sulking. I heard it is infested with crocodiles. Sweet deliverance.

Got off the bus at Ang Mo Kio [really!] and this big big sign so deceptively greets you..

From HK October 20...

suggesting that my destination is just around the corner.


Of course, I have read the guidebook and I know better.





I need to walk past all this highways before my journey can really begin: 4 km of road all the way in along the Kam Tin River.
