Check in at the secret scene of the Lok Ma Chau border, the Shige Road Bridge.
Before coming to San Tin, I first went to the border of Lok Ma Chau to find a secret place. The editor crossed the opposite road at the transfer station, rode through Xintian Village Road, and turned right to the Shige Road Bridge. I remembered to take a check-in photo when crossing the bridge. Then I rode along the deserted border fence, which was very comfortable. On the way, we peeked through the barbed wire fence at the Lok Ma Chau Port in the restricted area. Riding to the end of Shige Road, separated by a river, is the Futian area of mainland China, just steps away from Tianya.

The so-called eldest brother refers to the residence of a famous person, a wealthy family. Xintian Dafudi was built in 1865 by members of the Wen family, a wealthy local family. The descendants of the cousin of Wen Tianxiang , a martyr in the late Song Dynasty , were awarded the title of " doctor " by the Qing emperor. Tai Fu Ti was designated as a statutory monument in Hong Kong in 1987 .
The interior of Dafudi, which has a history of over 150 years, is well preserved.
When you come to Dafudi, don’t miss the chance to visit this early Hong Kong building that brought together Chinese and Western cultures. At first glance, it is based on traditional Chinese architectural methods, using blue bricks, etc., with an exquisite ceramic ridge featuring the opera character "General Yang" on the roof; and a two-entry layout with three rooms and two corridors. However, some decorative details contain Western style, such as the rococo relief carvings on the door of the house, the geometric patterns on the stained glass windows, etc. The mixture of different Chinese and Western styles is amazing.
The ceramic sculptures of opera characters on the roof are very exquisite.
