香港痛失大浪西�（《�代��》��中�）
�：�者2010/2/27撮於大浪西�，想不到是�它完好的最後一面......
�到香港，你不�想起自然�景，是的，我�的�住在石屎森林，人�稠密。但事�上，香港有�75%的土地�於郊野，未��展，林木��，是野牛、蟒蛇、猴子的安��。
我喜�郊野，因此，�我看到今天的《南�早�》（香港一份英文大�），心情非常沉重。它的�版��了，香港最美�的一角、以湛�海水�雪白幼沙�名的大浪�，�被��。本地商人、蒙古能源主席��城以�2百�美元，�入了一些村地，��大�土木，建其私人大宅。他已派出推土���西�，�始清除植被。其公司的一名�言人表示，�氏��任何「大�模的工程��」，��由於�氏本人「非常�色」，�低������目。
福��至。在香港，只要有�，便能�用各�法律漏洞。�氏看�也�了一番功夫，才完成收集所有零碎的土地，�拼成其大宅地�，期�政府竟然�有相�部�留意到�些交易，�在�乎�常。�教我想起近期本地地�市�一些玩弄黑暗手段的��（�者按：例如天�事件），令人倍感沮�。
香港早�有更��的法例，�保育�些珍�的天然��。但��是最後一�可以用�收�、��己有的全天然公�沙�。

In Hong Kong, One Paradise Lost
You might not think of Hong Kong as a trove of natural serenity, but actually, the seven million people living here are squished into a remarkably small area. We all live piled on top of each other and jockey for space on impossibly narrow sidewalks while about 75% of the land of the Special Administrative Region is undeveloped, lush countryside, full of creatures like wild cows, (dog-eating) pythons and aggressive monkeys that I advise you not look in the eye. From an evolutionary perspective, humans are really losing the battle in this little semi-autonomous chunk of China.
Personally, I like it that way. So it was with a heavy heart that I picked up today's South China Morning Post (Hong Kong's big English daily) to read a front page story on the desecration of one of the finest untouched corners of the city. Tai Long Wan beach, whose Cantonese name translates roughly as "big wave bay," is a sweeping crescent of white sand lapped by clear blue waters. It takes some serious effort (and, in summer, an unspeakable amount of sweat) to get out there by subway, bus, taxi and foot, and that is what, until now, has kept it so good. That, and the fact that it's part of Sai Kung East Country Park, an area set aside for nature conservation.
Or so we thought. Through a zoning loophole, the SCMP reported today that a large private residence is now under construction directly behind Tai Long Wan. Local businessman Simon Lo Lin-shing, chairman of Mongolia Energy Corporation and Vision Values Holdings, has acquired several plots of an abandoned village for a total of about $2 milion in a small area that falls outside the park zoning laws, and therefore is not subject to planning regulations or EIAs.
The bulldozers he has hired to start building there have already started clearing land. An unnamed spokeswoman for Vision Values Holdings told the paper that there were no plans for any "large-scale works," and that because the owner was "very green" himself, the land would be developed in a low-profile way.
Sigh. There's nothing illegal necessarily going on here, but it's always depressing when loopholes like these can be found at the right price. It sounds like the property buyer worked fairly hard to piece together this land from its original owners, and it's hard to imagine that at some point along the way, his efforts didn't come to the attention of somebody in public office who could have raised a red flag. It's particularly bleak news when a totally separate scandal involving the wheelings-and-dealings of the local property market has been unfolding.
Anyway, this is not the first project in Hong Kong to crop up in areas that should be under stricter development laws, and it won't be the last. But let's hope it is the last unspoiled public beach that somebody with enough cash gets to put in their own backyard.
The monkeys, for their part, are not going to be amused.

看到大浪西�水清沙幼的原始美景，因私人�展而�遭蹂�，香港�好自然和�足的市民都目瞪口呆。
�竟，大浪西�已是香港�果�存的���美、未受玷污的沙�，平日只有帆船和�足人士冒汗前往。在天朗�清的日子，它可媲美菲律����（Boracay）的白沙�。
抗�人士指大浪西�已被��富翁��城所破�。《南�早�》上周��，蒙古能源主席��城，以1,600�港元�下西�的荒�村屋，��始清除西�的���木。�氏的具��展大�未明。�《南�早�》��，�氏本人��自己在�拓「有���」，然而西�村村民�指出�氏想�建他的�人私宅，�附��球�和人工湖。

大浪西�的魅力

2. 她是香港地�公�的一部分，�刺地西�也被政府界定�具地�保育�值的旅�地�。
3. 她跟�鹿石��是咫尺之�，是香港溯�的最理想地�。
