Today I would like to continue my trip in Cape D'Aguilar. Last time I stopped at the "Thunder Cave" where you can hear thundering sound when sea waves splash against the cave wall.

If you are interested in the first part of this trip, you may press here.

After leaving the Thunder Cave, we continued on along the road until the end, it leads to the Hong Kong University Swire Institute of Marine Science.

Outside the Institute, the skeleton of killer whale "Hoi Wai" is displayed at the rocky shore.

今天我想繼續我在鶴咀的旅程。第一部分我分享了香港現存最古老的「鶴咀燈塔」和海水天然沖刷而成的海蝕洞「雷音洞」,由於不斷受大浪衝擊洞穴而不時發出雷鳴般的巨響。對第一部分有興趣的朋友可以按[這裡](https://steemit.com/travel/@krischy/explore-hong-kong-with-me-15-cape-d-aguilar-第1部分)。

離開雷霆洞後,我們沿著小路返回剛剛的大路,繼續向香港大學太古海洋科學研究中心進發。

在研究所外擺放了殺人鯨“海威”的骸骨。

3. Skeleton of killer whale "Hoi Wai"/殺人鯨「海威」

Killer whale "Hoi Wai" had been performing in Ocean Park for 18 years until her death in 1997.

海洋公園明星殺人鯨「海威」,海威曾經係海洋劇場表演嘅台柱。後來受病毒感染後死亡,「海威」是老一輩港人的集體回憶。

In the photo below, a group of students are paying attention to what the tutor who is explaining the importance in protecting the marine animal.

We climbed up to the rocky mountain right next to the Skeleton of killer whale "Hoi Wai" to have enjoy the boundless ocean view.

我們爬上了鯨骨旁的岩石,岩石看似陡峭,不過小心慢慢登上也不算太難行。登頂後欣賞著360度一望無際的海岸,壯闊無比,當然要拍照留念。

Along the shore to the left, you could see a large rocky group at the seaside which has a hole in the middle and that's the Crab Cave.

沿著左邊的岸邊往下走,你可以看到在海邊有一個巨大的岩石群,中間有一個洞,那就是「蟹洞」了。

4. Crab Cave/「蟹洞」

Crab Cave is created when water wears away the underside of a rock and leaving the top. Crab Cave got its name by looking like a giant crab lying on the shore when looking far from the rock.

「蟹洞」是長年遭海浪衝擊形成的海蝕拱,有人說從洞穴背面水平看去,此洞外形狀像一隻蟹,亦有說法指此處之所以名為蟹洞,是因為登上岩石頂向洞處望下,形狀彷如蟹鉗般。

We spent another half hour walking along the coastline and taking photos.

我們又花了半個小時沿著海岸線拍照。

This is the end of our photo trip. We took the same route back to the bus stop where we got off in the morning. And took bus No.9 or red mini bus back to Shau Kei Wan.

這次的旅程結束了。回程我們經由原路折回,返回早上下車的巴士站,乘搭九號巴士或紅色小巴返回筲箕灣。

Summary:

Cape D'Aguilar offers panoramic views of the ocean and rocky shore. It also has some unique spots like two natural sea caves, thunder cave and crab cave formed naturally by the wave erosion of the sea, a century-old light house standing on the cliff; a skeleton of killer whale "Hoi Wai" is displayed at the rocky shore.

The walk towards the caves were very easy as it is all paved and marking it a perfect route for even beginner and kids. This is definitely one of the most relaxing and scenic coastal hikes in Hong Kong. I would recommend to bring a full battery camera as there are lots of picturesque views to snap.

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy 💓

總結:

鶴咀不但擁有美麗的海岸景色和多種海洋生物的繁殖基地。 它更有有一些獨特的景觀,如兩個天然海蝕洞,由風化和海浪沖撃而形成的「雷音洞」和「蟹洞」;一座甚具歐陸風情的古老燈塔; 研究所外殺人鯨“海威”的骸骨。

這條行山路線十分輕鬆易走,很適合初次行山的朋友,甚至帶小朋友一起來也絕對沒有問題,來回只需大概2小時(不包括拍照時間),絕對是最佳推薦的短徒行山徑。我會建議大家記得帶充滿電的相機,因為沿路風景優美,到處都是拍攝題材。

感謝你花時間看這篇文章,希望你喜歡💓
