Tsiang Yi Bridge (North)


A construction by the donation of the Tsuen Wan District Council

Highway Department done something to the slippy slop

Someone wrote "walk faster!!!"

Where the dead lives

Next to the high way

Helicopter landing place

Buidling nice view

Tsiang Yi Bridge
青衣大橋 (
北橋)

We drifted and drifted. Then we got on to this bridge where there was, obviously, no government buildings to be discovered. But then the view from this bridge is amazing and there are people bycycling and jogging on this bridge. This is right next to a highway. And on our way, we can see those houses with nice sea view where the rich lives and the mountain where we place the bodies of the dead. My dad used to tell me, the graves would be best facing the sea. There was a saying in our culture that water equals fortune. But then, one time when my mom was visiting my gradma's grave, my uncle told her that this depends on the background of the family. My gradma's grave used to have a nice sea view but now it is covered by trees. And my uncle told her that it was better for the family if there were trees. Because the trees would act as a "safe" for the fortune. In terms of houses for the living, people believe that a house is best to be facing the sea too and with a mountain at the back. Again, sea means the fortune and the mountain is a symbol for one to have something or someone to rely on.
