Recordist's notes

The origin of the term "Fu tei" is elusive. It is said that it was named after a tiger appeared. The country trail at Fu Tei in Tuen Mun used to be named "Tiger Canyon Trail", but in recent years it has been renamed as "Fu Tei Country Trail" by the AFCD. From Tung Shing Pavilion to Lam Tei Reservoi, there are stream scenery. There are cicadas on the trees on both sides of the recording position. The sound of the cicadas is sometimes on the left and on the right, sometimes in unison. 「虎地」一詞由來無從稽考,有說是曾有老虎出沒而命名。位於屯門虎地的郊遊徑曾以「虎峽谷徑」為名,惟近年巳被漁護署正名為「虎地郊遊徑」。由東升亭至藍地水塘一段皆有溪澗景色。錄音位置兩側的樹上時有蟬,蟬聲時在左邊時在右邊,時而齊奏。
