香港觀星好去處推介
Recommended Stargazing Sites in Hong Kong

1. 大美督船灣淡水湖主壩

由大埔墟乘搭公共交通工具出發，大約花45分鐘時間就可以到達大美督，再步行大約10分鐘即可到達船灣淡水湖主壩。主壩在日間是踏單車的好地方，在晚上則是一個觀星的熱點，雖然西面的天空受來自吐露港公路的光害影響，但東面的環境適合觀星。在晚上11時前，仍可選擇多種交通工具作回程之用。

It takes only about 45 minutes to travel from Tai Po Market to Tai Mei Tuk by public transport and another 10-minute walk to reach the main dam of the Plover Cove Reservoir. The main dam is a nice place for cycling at daytime. While at night, it is a hotspot for stargazing. Although the western sky is adversely affected by light pollution from Tolo Highway, the environment in the east is suitable for stargazing. Various means of transport are still available for return trip before 11pm.

2. 清水灣郊野公園大坑墩風箏場
Tai Hang Tun Kite-flying Venue at the Clearwater Bay Country Park       

大坑墩的環境十分舒適優美，而且有不錯的衛生設施。場地受西面市區的光害影響，但其餘方向的環境及視野皆適合觀星。在附近海面有時會停泊著大量船隻，它們產生的燈光嚴重影響東面的觀星條件。大坑墩設有停車場，但如乘搭巴士，在大坳門站下車後仍要步行30分鐘才可到達大坑墩風箏場。

Tai Hang Tun has a comfortable and beautiful environment, as well as good hygiene facilities. The site is adversely affected by light pollution from the urban area in the west, but the environments in other directions are suitable for stargazing. Sometimes, a lot of boats are moored at the sea nearby. The light they produced will seriously affect the stargazing conditions in the east. There is a car park in Tai Hang Tum. If you go there by bus, you should get off at Tai Au Mun station and it will take a 30-minute walk to reach the Tai Hang Tun Kite Course from the Tai Au Mun station.
