打卡之路?
Path to… photo shooting?
「打卡」(即在熱門旅遊處拍照,表示我已來過了)是香港人郊遊時的指定動作,許多旅遊雜誌或網站會介紹不同的「打卡點」,近年形成一種郊遊文化。
“Da Card” (a local phrase aka “Check in” in English) is a common routine for Hong Kong people during outings, that includes taking a picture of the scenery and a selfie to say “I’ve been there”. It has become a tradition for travellers, as many travel magazines and websites suggest “Check in” hotspots to their viewers.
一般「打卡點」多人去了,漸漸覺得不夠特色,於是會「捐窿捐罅」去找新的「打卡點」,甚至走上沒有山徑可達的山崗,你面前的小山崗,從前沒有明顯山徑,政府部門也設立了危險警告牌,可是不少人無視這些警告牌繼續爬到山坡上。
Many people flock to these places, but the lustre gradually erodes overtime after receiving numerous visitors. Then the whole process starts again by people looking in every nook and cranny for a new “Check in” hotspot.
事實上,不時有為了拍照或欣賞風景而失足的意外,山上大石、石縫、懸崖都是高風險的地方,為了拍照引致意外固然非常不值,而且大量遊客離開原有道路,在山頭自闢小路,會破壞該處的自然生態環境。希望拍友不要為欣賞風景而致破壞原有自然美景。
Regrettably, an accident happens now and again for those in search for the next perfect shot or breathtaking view. It’s not worth risking injury just for a picture, as going near large boulders, crevices, and cliff edges are all dangerous areas and should be avoided. Most hikers stay on the designated trail during the whole hike causing minimal impact. Unfortunately once in a while, a photographer will stray away from the trail and create a new path destroying the natural ecology and surroundings.
大家想有更多打卡靚位,就一定要「無痕打卡」啦,即是只帶走照片,不留下破壞痕跡。
If everyone wants to have more “Check in” opportunities, then we must practice “Traceless Check in”, which promotes sustainability and respects the surroundings. Let’s hike and take away fond memories without leaving a trail of destruction.
