龍 豐 休 憩 處
Lung Fung Sitting-out Area
龍豐休憩處位於石湖墟市政大廈和龍鳳花園之間的矩形場地內, 串連上水一號和三號花園, 形成連續的綠色休憩空間。市政大廈為上水新市鎮發展的重要部分,其附設的石湖墟街市是香港首個設有冷氣的公營街市,也是全港最繁忙的街市之一,有不少菜販於休憩處與街市的邊界上販賣蔬果。休憩處佔地約1750平方米,由不同形狀的花圃切割為四個主要區域。東西兩端為半閉合的小園地和沿著鋸齒狀種植池陣列的棋盤桌椅,留下開闊的廣場於中央,方便疏導往返街市和周邊設施的人流。運輸工人和顧客絡繹不絕,菜販和店家的吆喝叫賣聲,令休憩處充滿生活和市井氣息。
Lung Fung Sitting-out Area is located in a rectangular space between Shek Wu Hui Municipal Services Building and Lung Fung Garden, connecting Sheung Shui Garden No. 1 and No. 3 to form a continuous green rest space. The Municipal Services Building is an important part of Sheung Shui New Town’s development. Attached to it is the Shek Wu Hui Market, the first public market with air-conditioning in Hong Kong that has become one of the busiest markets in the city. Many vendors sold fruits and vegetables along the border between the sitting-out area and the market. The sitting area covers an area of about 1750 square metres and is divided into four main areas by flower beds of different shapes. The east and west ends are semi-closed small gardens and chess tables and chairs along the zigzag-shaped planters, leaving an open plaza in the centre to guide circulation to and from the market and surrounding facilities. Busy footsteps of transport workers and shoppers, and the intense bargains and shouts of market vendors immerse the site in the hustle and bustle of the city life.
