峰景亭(石排灣郊野公園外)

The name of this pavilion subtly references the main entrance couplet of Macau's Lotus Mountain Temple: "Lotus flowers reflect the sea, mountain scenery connects to the lotus seas." My new home lies in front of her, briefly catching a glimpse of the beautiful scenery of the bag-shaped water road at the border of Route 3. Therefore, I best understand her loss - since high-rise buildings were erected in front of my new home, the broad river view was submerged in the endless wall of skyscrapers and severed from the water. Back in the days, Union Industrial Village was a gentle bend of still water, while the Stone Patch Bay public housing area was a low-roofed rocky cliff of an old quarry; tourists would all praise her beautiful appearance "reflected like a mirror on the sea"; whereas today it's "continuously sealed off," and her jade-like beauty has withered, serving as a satire against the madness of the real estate market.
