地點介紹 Site Description

梧桐寨位於大埔,是一片谷地,內有梧桐寨瀑布及梧桐寨村。梧桐寨不少範圍被劃入梧桐寨特別地區。

香港九大石澗之一的梧桐石澗源自大帽山。這裡有全港最著名的瀑布群,包括散髮瀑、主瀑、中瀑、井底瀑,當中主瀑上下落差逾30米,十分壯觀。梧桐寨深谷長年潮濕,地勢陡峭,較少人為扞擾,生物多樣性非常豐富。溪流在瀑布下游流入林村河,再流出吐露港。

Ng Tung Chai is a valley in Tai Po, which is the location of Ng Tung Chai Village and Ng Tung Chai Waterfall. Much of the area is designated as part of the Ng Tung Chai Special Area.

Ng Tung Stream originates from Tai Mo Shan and has the most famous series of waterfalls in Hong Kong, including Scatter Fall, Main Fall, Middle Fall and Bottom Fall. The magnificent Main Fall is over 30 metres high. The steep valley is moist year round, giving rise to its very rich biodiversity. At the lower course, the stream joins Lam Tseun River, which then flows into Tolo Harbour.
