May I present to you; our village in the New Territories -Tai Wan Village.

At a little bay just north of the fisher town of Sai Kung you will find the little village or settlement; Tai Wan. This has been our home town since the 16th of august. With an astonishing view both out front towards the bay of Sai Kung, and to the back towards the hillside of the Ma On Shan Mountain. It is a nice and quiet place to live. By the way; the house you see here at the front on the right side, is still empty. It is a lovely house, two stocks and a rooftop, just at the waterfront. So when anybody have plans for some relocating, could this be a possibility? When we walk along the beach in direction Sai Kung and turn around is this what is left of Tai Wan village. But this walk is only possible when we have the tide, otherwise the water comes right up to the empty house on the first picture.
One public -and quit busy- road connects the village to the satellite cities in Sha Tin to the north, to Sai Kung in the south and to the country parks of Sai Kung district to the east.
The well organized public transport in Hong Kong allows us to reach Sha Tin center in 30-, Kowloon and Mong Kok in 30- and the busy and crowded Central district on Hong Kong Island in 45 minutes. Ok; we do not have the best shopping malls in Tai Wan village but we do have more fresh air and more sky to look at. If somebody forgot our view from the rooftop; then here it is again. Enjoy the weather where ever you are; Jgen.
