Pokfulam Village

Pokfulam, a small village perched (坐落) on a hillside in the west of Hong Kong Island, is characterized by narrow lanes and alleys twisting through the village, around small traditional buildings and newer structures. The modest (簡樸) appearance of Pokfulam belies (掩飾) its importance to the history of Hong Kong. The storied Dairy Farm Group, set up in Pokfulam in 1886 to provide Hong Kong with fresh milk, expanded rapidly, offering employment to many of Pokfulam's residents. The community's most important tradition is the Fire Dragon Dance that takes place during the Mid-Autumn Festival every year. An incense-lit hay dragon visits each household, bringing blessings to the residents and fostering a spirit of community.

Pokfulam Village was included on the 2014 World Monuments Watch to raise awareness of its significance and scarcity in the modern metropolitan Hong Kong.

小小的薄扶林村，古蹟卻有不少，要逛遍也不容易。村民做了一個地圖，標示出著名景點的位置。

「伯公壇」，伯公即土地公，是鄉村常見供奉的神祇。

薄扶林村最有名的盛事便是「舞火龍」，已有百年歷史，但只有中秋才舉辦。

李靈仙姐塔，香港獨有的神祇。仙塔位處車房後方，位置有點隱密難找。

薄扶林村的「文化工作」，其實始於民生問題。2003年，村民已感村內排污系統不足，造成污水、蚊患、臭味等問題。
