谷埔背山面海,環境優雅,位於新界東北,對岸是沙頭角和深圳。谷埔村口可見一間小學啟才學校,有80多年歷史,具拱型門廊和裝飾,充滿歐陸風格,現已被荒廢。
啟才學校建於1931年,後於1964年擴建,最終因缺乏學生在1993年關閉。村民將其中一間課室改裝成協天宮,供奉關公。學校現為三級歷史建築。
谷埔像桃花源般的鄉郊,有古樸的村屋群,海傍紅樹林,金黃蘆葦田,周末有客家美食,有難得活力。
由粉嶺火車站有56K小巴前往鹿頸,大概步行一小時經鳳坑村抵達谷埔。大部分是平路易行,適合親子遠足。
Kuk Po is located at the northeast of the New Territories, backed by mountains on the seaside, with Shataukok and Shenzhen on the opposite shore. At the entrance to the village, stands a primary school, Kai Choi School, with a history of over 80 years. It has arched porches and decorations in European style, now abandoned.
Kai Choi School was built in 1931, then expanded in 1964, and finally closed in 1993 owing to lack of students. The villagers converted one of the classrooms into Hip Tin Temple to worship Kwan Kung. The school is now a Grade III historical building.
Kuk Po is like a Xanadu in Hong Kong, with quaint village houses, seaside mangroves, golden reed fields, and Hakka cuisine on weekends, with a rare vigor for a village.
From Fanling Station, take minibus 56K to Luk Keng, you will reach Luk Po after about an hour’s walk passing Fung Hang village. Most of the path is flat and easy to walk, suitable for a family outing.
