Can Anyone Translate This For Me?

Published by jodapoet at 1:42 pm under Travel, Writing Edit This

I shot this photo while on Lantau Island in Hong Kong.  I was walking through the forest between Tian Tan Buddha and Wisdom Path.  I came to a fork in the road where there were two different paths and this sign between them.  I loved this sign for it’s aesthetic value and took a photo of it however I still wasn’t sure which path to take.  I basically went with my gut feeling and arrived at Wisdom Path not too long after.  I will be writing more about Wisdom Path in the days to come. 

This sign was unusual because it was in the middle of nowhere and along a path surrounded by trees, bamboo, lush green foliage, plants and canyons.  The birds were singing and humidity freshened by a cool warmed breeze.  When I arrived back home I came across this photo again and would love to know what it says.  I haven’t been able to find anyone to translate.

    robin and sydaling - THANK YOU!!! I was beginning to give up on the translation so I really appreciate your help. It makes sense as there was a small tea garden restaurant that I passed while on my way to Wisdom Path. Thanks again.

    I love how it looks, too. As I was sitting here looking at the picture I was thinking how beautiful the characters look and started wondering does anyone who writes in Chinese have bad penmanship?? Because to me it all looks really good!

    Wendy - I know what you mean. It is all perfect.
