香港旅遊景點介紹---屏山文物徑(Ping Shan Heritage Trail)

twintwin

This kilometre-long trail meanders through three villages and contains some of the most significant historical buildings in Yuen Long District in the New Territories.

The trail provides an insight into the very foundation of Hong Kong life hundreds and hundreds of years ago when hard-working peasants worked their small farm holdings. This is also the home of the Tang clan - one of the five great clans that established themselves in the New Territories many hundreds of years ago.

Topping off the list of attractions along the trail is Hong Kong's only ancient pagoda, the Tsui Shing Lau which is believed to date back more than 600 years. Originally seven storeys tall, the pagoda was damaged by a severe storm centuries ago and only the lowest three remain intact. It is believed that due to feng shui reasons, the pagoda has been left as it is. The building is hexagonal, and constructed of green brick and granite.

Next is the Tang Ancestral Hall built by a fifth generation Tang clan member, Tang Fung-shun in the reign of the Emperor KangXi (1662-1722). There are three halls containing many inscriptions.

Further along the Trail are the Kun Ting Study Hall, two temples and other historic Chinese buildings.

位於新界元朗的屏山文物徑，蜿蜒千米，途經坑頭村、坑尾村和上璋圍三條村落及一些極具歷史意義的古建築，勾勒出香港百年前農家小戶刻苦的耕種生活。


屏山文物徑將多座典型中國傳統建築物連接起來，信步可達。文物徑沿線的獨特古蹟包括全港最大的祠堂鄧氏宗祠、上璋圍、覲廷書室、洪聖宮、楊侯古廟及其他多座傳統建築，其中聚星樓更是香港碩果僅存的古代樓塔。


聚星樓原名「魁星塔」，又名「文塔」，考古相信，聚星樓由興建至今已有逾600年歷史。樓塔主要以青磚麻石建造而成，塔身呈六角形，原高七層，塔基位於一矮台之上，在百年多前被強風吹襲而遭破壞，上面四層經已塌毀，只餘最底三層完好無缺。信是風水的緣由，這樓塔便一直保存該形態至今。


鄧氏宗祠由鄧族第五代後人鄧馮遜，於清康熙時期(1662-1722年)興建，由三座祠堂組成，內裏藏有不少字畫雕刻。鄧氏家族是新界百年前五大原居族裔之一，早於12世紀末遷居屏山，定居新界至今已近1,000年。
