一個不太尋常,清晨返公司幹活的早晨。之後步出來,可發現中環清晨之美。
行下行下,發現了一個叫「百子里公園」的地方,是孫中山古蹟徑的一部份,用來紀念晚清革命先鋒楊衢雲和謝纘泰等創立的輔仁文社。

吉慶圍是香港一個著名的圍村,圍牆早在十七世紀清康熙年間興建。現在村內的新建村屋的高度多已超過圍牆,以至本來很古色古香的景觀,給破壞掉了,可觀性也減低。居民的需要與古蹟的保存始終存有矛盾,需要有智慧的調和去達致雙驘。
另一個類似的圍村建築,但保存的比較完好的有上水的新圍。

As one of the oldest walled-village in Hong Kong. The wall was originally built on early 17th Century. However, due to improper preservation policy, the speciality of old walled view is eroding fast as newer houses are built within the village. The needs of village residents and the heritage preservation requires special wisdom.
Another better-looking walled village in Hong Kong worth visiting is San Wai (in Sheung Shui district)
