Letter from Hong Kong - #17

Today let's go to Lai Fau Shan in the New Territories on Deep Bay or Shenzhen Bay just across from Mainland China. Another fishing village where in the past I have fond memories of going there with a group; we would pick out the food we wanted to eat then take it to one of the restaurants there for a truly magnificent feast.

A shot of part of the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Western Corridor which links Hong Kong with Mainland China. The highway-bridge started in 2003 and was completed in 2007.

Just some of the items available for sale in the village. As you can see, there is a lot of dried foods and a lot of it is fish.

Circle in the village.

If you can believe this: this shot shows the structure which houses many of the shops and restaurants in the village.

After visiting Lai Fau Shan we decided to stop at the Tang Clan Wall Village in Ping Shan Hang Mei Tsuen on our way back to Yuen Long to catch the MTR back to the hotel. This is the third walled village we have visited over the years. 

Tang Ancestral Hall which dates back to the 14th century.

Just to the right of the Ancestral Hall is the Yu Kiu Ancestral Hall which dates around 16th century.
