兰谷

1965年春季建筑的四角凉亭

兰谷(英语:Orchid Valley)又称宝云道花园(英语:Bowen Road Garden),是康乐及文化事务署辖下的公园,位于香港岛宝云道与宝云径(Bowen Drive)的交界处的峡谷里。

起源

第二次世界大战前,它是一个V字形之向北峡谷,三面丛林,两旁山溪流水,宝云道(三马路)横架溪涧之上,实际就是一道几丈长的“三眼”,的两端都有小径进入峡谷,被香港市民称为“谷”。峡谷里的岩石壁上,被游人镶嵌了四块大理石汉字雕刻:从右至左为叶恭绰先生写的“听泉”、陈鉴坡先生写的“活水”、海天逸叟写的“涤尘”(已失)及佚名写的“清泉”。当中的“活水”(或称活水公园)至今仍为部分市民对该处的称呼。

中华民国三十年(1941年)的时候,有10人位旅居香港的亲清朝读书人定期在这里聚会研究诗词歌赋,人们称他们为“九老团”,其中最龄的是当年78岁的刘薇卿先生及77岁的梁觉民先生,其余是严醒庶先生、冯子舟先生、甘卿远先生、胡选默先生、罗亦璋先生、莫雨涧先生、岑季翘先生、吕觞怃先生。其中吕觞怃先生当年只是55岁,不入九老之列。他们联合写成著作《兰谷雅集》,用“拨雪寻古道,倚树听流泉”为韵,拈韵分题,吟了几十首,叫做《兰谷吟》,并被出版印刷成诗集,由最年长的刘薇卿先生写序,开端有“宝云道,香岛静境也,最胜处曰兰谷,仰接层峦,俯临清涧,蔚然而深秀”几句,把“兰谷”的美景描写出来。

在1965年的春季香港政府在峡谷填土,改建成公园,当年建筑一座四角凉亭、小径,座椅、花圃及盥洗室等设施,便利观光客。
