望夫石 (A stoned wife), Shatin, HK

In our primary school text book, this one is the symbolic figure in Shatin. A tale behind it is about a wife carrying her baby and went up to the hill for longing for her husband's return. She was so determined without moving an inch day and night. She then became a stone (a real stone, not meaning she got hypnotized or drunk).

Yes, this is the landmark of Shatin at my time.
Glad that it is still there.
