Lush green countryside and farmland
Ng Chi Wing missed the old landscape of Nga Tsin Wai very much. When he was still a child, Nga Tsin Wai was a village of considerable size with a watercress field that stretched all the way from Lion Rock to Nga Tsin Wai via Lok Fu and Wong Tai Sin. Nearby was an army firing range equipped with paper targets. At what is now Choi Hung Road near Tai Shing School was located an airport gate. In the evening, aircraft did not take off or land, so kids happily climbed over the fence to play football! Ng Chi Wing misses his carefree times in this old landscape very much! Before the completion of its first seven-storey factory buildings, the area around Nga Tsin Wai became lush everywhere after showers and could best be described as “dripping green” as the literati called it! Today, Ng Chi Wing sighs that pollution is always so heavy the sky is constantly grey. He feels urban development is what made the beautiful scenery disappear.
