賽馬會惜水識河計劃 - 錦田河航拍影片(焦點景觀) Kam Tin River Highlight

地皆膏腴，正錦繡之鄉村也。何以岑田名？故改鄉名為錦田。」(摘自《鄧氏族譜》)。錦田古稱岑田，由於當地土地肥沃，農業出產豐盛，乃錦繡之地，故此改稱錦田。 河流是人類文明的命脈，早在北宋時期已有鄧氏族人在錦田河流域建村立業。當地現時保存不少文物古蹟，例如便母橋、二帝書院、長春園、清樂鄧公祠、廣瑜鄧公祠等。此外，位於南生圍的橫水渡，更是本港現時唯一一條手搖舢舨的航線，見證昔日河流對航運的重要性。 錦田河中游和下游不少河段，早已因河道治理工程被大規模渠道化及改道，只剩下小部份天然河道得以保留。毗鄰水尾村和及南生圍的天然曲流，保留著昔日錦田河的天然面貌。 錦田河有重要的生態功能。下游及河口的濕地，包括蘆葦叢、魚塘、紅樹林以及潮間帶泥灘等，具有極高的生態價值，為多種濕地生物如水鳥、招潮蟹、彈塗魚等提供棲息地。 香港河流資料庫 https://www.jcwise.hk/gis/kam_tin_riv... According to the Tang’s clan records (《鄧氏族譜》), Kam Tin was previously known as Sham Tin (岑田). In recognition of its fertile soils and abundant agricultural production, it was renamed as Kam Tin. Rivers are considered lifeline of human civilisation. Settlements in Kam Tin River Catchment were established by the Tang clan as early as the Northern Song Dynasty. There remain some cultural heritage sites, such as Bin Mo Bridge, Yi Tai Study Hall, Cheung Chun Yuen, Tang Ching Lok Ancestral Hall and Tang Kwong U Ancestral Hall. Besides, the hand-pulled ferry in Nam Sang Wai is the only operating hand-pulled ferry service in Hong Kong. It manifests the significant role of rivers in navigation in the past. Most river channels in the middle and lower courses of Kam Tin River have been channelised and realigned due to river management works, yet some river courses have been spared from artificial modifications. For example, the natural meanders near Shui Mei Tsuen and Nam Sang Wai are retained. They perfectly illustrate the pristine scenery of Kam Tin River in the days prior to massive channel modifications. Kam Tin River has important ecological functions. Wetlands at the lower course and river mouth including reed beds, fishponds, mangroves and inter-tidal mudflats, have extraordinarily high ecological value and provide habitats for numerous wetland fauna e.g. waterbirds, fiddler crabs, mudskippers, etc. River@HK Database https://www.jcwise.hk/gis/kam_tin_riv...
