Wishing Tree：Towering beside the Tin Hau Temple in Lam Tsuen, this Tree seems to be covered in deep crimson colours from a distance. Only up close do you realize that the Wishing Tree is actually laden with wishes written on bright red paper. It used to be a camphor tree where a tablet for enshrining and worshipping Pak Kung was placed. As time went on, the branches and leaves began to wither and eventually it became a hollow tree. Legend says that a worshipper had a son who was very slow in learning. As a result of the wish he made after worshipping the hollow tree, his son, however, had completely changed and made incredible improvement in his academic performance. Words spread and people flocked to the place to make wishes, and the Tree was quite generous with its magic. Today, it not only attracts people from all around Hong Kong, but it is also popular with foreign visitors. It has become one of the biggest tourist attractions of Hong Kong.Lam Tsuen Waterfalls：Located on top of Tai Mo Shan, they can be reached by turning into Ng Tung Chai Tsuen from Lam Kam Road, and going along the footpath at the rear of the village. On the way is Man Tak Yuen, and ascending the winding path for a while you'll reach the destination. The roaring waterfalls gush down the edge of the precipice with such force that they look like over-hanging white silk, making a most spectacular sight. Also, as the place is surrounded by dense scrubs and bushes, it remains pleasantly cool in the heat of the summer, and it attracts many hikers and nature-loving people on holidays.Man Tak Yuen：A Taoist monastery, it was built in 1975 and is in fact one of the most impressive attractions in Lam Tsuen. Despite its limited space, the design of the Yuen is perfect and in food taste. The elaborate Chinese architecture, the winding paths, the majestic santuary, the solemn atmosphere, or even a tree is enough to lead one into wonderland.Kadoorie Farm：Situated beside the section of Lam Kam Road along Pak Ngau Shek Tsuen, Lam Tsuen, it covers and area of over 150 hectares. With the assistance of the Agriculture and Fisheries Department, the Kadoorie Brothers set up the "Kadoorie Agriculture Aids Association" in 1951. They also established a test ground with an area of more than 100 hectares in Kwun Yin Shan, making low-interest loans to farmers and teaching them how to rear domestic animals and fowls and plant vegetables. They have made great contribution to the farmers in the New Territories. Today, the Farm is partially open to the public for touring. 相關詞：
