Geocache Description:

Tai Peng (Chinese: 大坪) is a small residential village to the east of  Lamma Island, Hong Kong, on the hill directly north above the Yung Shue Long


 

Lamma Island (南丫島), also known as Pok Liu Chau (博寮洲), which is a part of the Islands District, is the third largest island in Hong Kong. Lamma has an estimated population of 6,050 people. However, with future developments such as a planned beach community in Sok Kwu Wan the population capacity is expected to double to 11,000 residents.

Tai Peng (Chinese: 大坪; literally: "big plateau") is a small residential village to the east of  Lamma Island, Hong Kong, on the hill directly north above the Yung Shue Long (榕樹塱) valley.

Tai Peng is split between a main village, Tai Peng Kau Tsuen (大坪舊村; "old village"), and Tai Peng San Tsuen (大坪新村; "new village").

A number of traditional stone houses are still in use in Tai Peng Kau Tsuen, of which some are reputed to be more than 300 years old. Facilities include a village hall, a small shrine, a community garden, and public toilets. There is also a small grocery shop called Regent Stores.

Tai Peng San Tsuen mainly comprises residential housing.

The Cache is located at the conjunction of a road from Tai Peng village to the trail leading Wind Power station.  Here you you can feel the peaceful environment of a remote residential area of Lamma.
