RouteStarting at the Maritime Square – Tsing Yi MTR station, walk south along the Tsing Yi Promenade with a view of Rambler Channel, and pass the Tsing Yi Swimming Pool to arrive at the Tsing Yi Public Pier. The pier once offered ferry services to Tsuen Wan and Central. Following the completion of rail and road links, the ferry service was suspended – but the pier remains as a gathering place, and an informal drop off and pick up point for different maritime operators.
Walking south under through the Cheung Tsing Bridge and Tsing Yi South Bridge, Tsing Yi turns industrial. The route joins Tsing Yi Road via the elevator next to the Tsing Yi Preliminary Treatment Works. From there, walk down the path near Tsing Hung Road Playground and Tsing Yi Hong Wan Road along container terminals. Pass under through Stonecutters’ Bridge and along the oil terminals at Tsing Sheung Road including Sinopec’s giant circular oil depot. Looking north, the mountains known as Sam Chi Heung act as a natural barrier between the residential areas and the heavy port industries along Tsing Yi Road. Continue west and after turning into Nam Wan, you find an abandoned Swire Paint Factory. Pass Sai Tso Wan and walk along the Nam Wan Tunnel and Cheung Tsing Tunnel for a view of other industries. Next you join the Tsing Yi Nature Trail. At the top of the trail, you will have a panoramic view of Tsing Ma Bridge. This is a great spot for sunset and night scenes. Turn into Fong Tin Mei Path near Cheung Wang Bus Terminal, from where you walk along Tam Kon Shan Road to Tsing Yi Northeast Park. Go through the park to return to the Tsing Yi Promenade. Passing under through the Tsing Tsuen Bridge, you arrive back at the starting point. You will have completed the 16km Tsing Yi Coastal Trail. |
路線從青衣城出發,沿著青衣海濱長廊南行,可欣賞藍巴勒海峽的景色,一直前行,經過青衣游泳池便到達青衣碼頭。昔日的碼頭曾提供客輪服務來往荃灣及中環,隨著島上的跨海大橋落成,島上陸路交通改善,航線已停航多年,但碼頭仍是不少人出海的上落點。
繼續向南面走,經過長青橋及青衣南橋底,便即踏入青衣的工業地帶。經污水處理廠旁的電梯回到青衣路,再緩緩走下青鴻路遊樂場旁的小徑,前往青衣航運路。穿過昂船洲大橋橋底,走到青尚路的盡頭,更可一睹青衣路旁一個個巨型圓桶油庫。而身後三度高低起伏的山脈,正是分隔工業帶及住宅區的天然屏障「三支香」。轉入南環的路段時,更有一座廢棄的工廠,它就是太古漆廠的舊址。其後到達西草灣一帶,沿青衣西路緩緩上斜,從南灣隧道和長青隧道的出口上經過,回頭就可從高眺西草灣一帶的重工業區。 再向前行便會到達青衣自然徑的入口。在自然徑登頂後,即可將青馬大橋景色盡收眼簾,於黃昏時更可欣賞大橋日落夜景。在長宏邨巴士總站旁轉入芳田美徑,於担杆山路直行,便到達青衣東北公園。穿過公園重回青衣的海濱,一路沿岸邊走便回到青衣海濱長廊,途經青荃橋橋底,便回到我們的起點,完成16公里的青衣環島徑。 |
