只缘身在此山中 Bukit Lalang Broga

茅草山座落在我的老家－武来岸，如果不是她的名字在登山界爆红，我几乎已把她忘了！

据老乡们说：近来上茅草山的人越来越多，尤其周末，人多得有点拥挤，停车的地方都难找。武来岸，因为这座小山，使这个几乎被人遗忘的小新村，名气也大了。

茅草山是我国主干山脉，位处南端的一座小山，我的家就在山角下。外来者说，这个山脉为平凡的武来岸新村增添不少美感；有了山脉作为靠山，也是风水地。

我在中学时期曾爬过这座山，那已是40多年前的事，印象也模糊。村人一般很少上山，乡下人，不需爬山做运动，平日割胶和农作已消耗很大体力。当时交通不便，地方偏僻，外人更不会来。

昨日又再登上茅草山，从大路到山上，步行30-45分钟便抵达，路程况不难走。山顶上可俯瞰整个武来岸新村，士毛月和加影等地。山上虽然没有沙巴州神山那么壮观，却另有一种视觉的美感。

落暮时分，看到夕阳映照着我熟悉的地方，有很深的感受。原来这么多年来，都忽略这片孕育我的土地，竟是如此美丽山河！

这是我在日落西山时，在山顶拍的几张照片，纯属拙作，却代表我对老家的一份情。

There is no official name for this hill in my hometown, Broga New Village. As the main vegetation in this area is wild lalang, we call this hill as Bukit Lalang.

Those days, not many people would like to climb this hill, as Broga is a remote and rural village, and relatively unknown. Now I was told, the hill was crowded with people especially during weekends.

The last time I climbed this mountain was 40 over years ago when I was still in secondary school. I hardly remember how it looked like then.

I went up to this hill again a few days ago. The scenery up there is just beautiful! From the top, I saw my hometown bathed with the evening sunlight, and I suddenly realize how fortunate I am to call this place as home.

I had taken a few images, which I would like to share with all my friends.
