黃茅坑山 客家碉樓古蹟 葉定仕故居 邊境行 | Wong Mau Hang Shan | Hakka Watchtower Heritage | Residence of Ip Ting-sz

(可開啟不同語言字幕) 黃茅坑山位於新界東北香園圍與蓮麻坑之間，山頂約 243 米，測量柱位於北面，標高 233 米，在山峰上可俯瞰 蓮麻坑村、紅花嶺、深圳蓮塘，以及鄰近的 新界東北堆填區。因鄰近新界東北堆填區及邊境口岸而具特殊地理與人文背景。它既是登山路線的一部分，也與客家村落、歷史建築及環境工程緊密相連。 起步登山途中, 會經過香園圍的客家碉樓古蹟，它是香港少數仍保存完整的客家防禦建築群，兼具軍事、文化與歷史價值。香園圍村約有三百六十年歷史，村民多姓「萬」。因位處禁區，長期封閉，直至 2016 年才解除。部分碉樓建於清代，另有 1928 年落成的村屋群。 而黃茅坑山另一面, 即徒步撤出點, 會經過位於香港沙頭角蓮麻坑村的葉定仕故居，這是一座融合中西風格的青磚大屋，建於約 1907 年，2009 年被列為法定古蹟。它既是革命歷史的見證，也是客家村落文化的重要遺產。葉定仕出生於 1870年代末期，是蓮麻坑葉氏第八世祖。曾赴泰國當裁縫，承包軍服製作，累積財富。19 世紀末加入同盟會，支持孫中山。1908 年孫中山訪泰國時，葉定仕積極協助，主持客家人加盟工作。曾參與反清起義及辛亥革命，後亦投入反軍閥運動。1936 年因泰國排華失去產業，舉家回港。1943 年於日佔香港期間逝世。 (Subtitles in various languages can be enabled) Wong Mau Hang Shan is located between Heung Yuen Wai and Lin Ma Hang in Northeast New Territories. The peak rises to about 243 meters, with a trigonometrical station on the northern side at 233 meters. From the peak, one can overlook Lin Ma Hang Village, Hung Fa Leng, Shenzhen Liantang, as well as the nearby Northeast New Territories Landfill. Its proximity to the landfill and the border crossing gives it a distinctive geographical and cultural background. The mountain is part of hiking routes and closely connected with Hakka villages, historic architecture, and environmental works. On the way up, hikers pass the Hakka watchtower heritage site of Heung Yuen Wai, one of the few remaining intact Hakka defensive structures in Hong Kong, valued for its military, cultural, and historical significance. Heung Yuen Wai Village has a history of about 360 years, with most villagers bearing the surname “Man” (萬). Because it was within the Frontier Closed Area, the village remained sealed off until restrictions were lifted in 2016. Some of the watchtowers date back to the Qing dynasty, while a cluster of village houses was built in 1928. On the other side of Huang Mau Hang Shan, at the exit point of the trail, hikers pass the Residence of Ip Ting-sz in Lin Ma Hang Village, Sha Tau Kok. This twostorey greenbrick mansion blends Chinese and Western styles, built around 1907 and declared a statutory monument in 2009. It stands as both a witness to revolutionary history and a cultural relic of the Hakka community. Ip Ting-sz, born in the late 1870s, was the eighthgeneration ancestor of the Ip clan in Lin Ma Hang. He once worked in Thailand as a tailor, contracting military uniforms and amassing wealth. In the late 19th century, he joined the Tongmenghui to support Sun Yat-sen. When Sun visited Thailand in 1908, Ip Ting-sz actively assisted, organizing Hakka participation. He took part in antiQing uprisings and the 1911 Revolution, later engaging in antiwarlord movements. In 1936, due to antiChinese policies in Thailand, he lost his businesses and returned to Hong Kong with his family. He passed away in 1943 during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong. #黃茅坑山 #客家碉樓 #葉定仕故居 #香園圍 #蓮麻坑 #WongMauHangShan #HakkaWatchtower #HongKongHeritage #ResidenceOfIpTing-sz #HeungYuenWai #LinMaHang
