Former Public Washing Ground 昔日洗衫場

Stop 6 of the Village culture walk · 村落文化徑第6站

No tap water reached Shui Hau before the 1980s; villagers used the clean stream water from Lantau Peak.

In the 1950s this shaded washing place under the longan trees was built, so women need not risk the stream and the stream stayed clean.

八十年代前未有自來水，村民用鳳凰山流下的潔淨山水。

五十年代在龍眼樹下建洗衫場，婦女不用冒險到山澗洗衫，河道亦免受污染。
