Sai Wan Village of Cheung Chau Island

6th May 1992

Sai Wan Village of Cheung Chau Island. This is the place I lived for 2.5 years (January 1991 to June 1993)

The hill in the middle is where the famous Cheung Po Tsai Cave located at.

Cheung Po Tsai cave was the favorite hiding place for the notorious pirate Cheung Po Tsai. Even I stay near by the famous cave, I visit the cave only once in a year. The cave is nothing more than a hole in the rock. No interesting though promoted by tourism as FAMOUS.

The Cave entrance and passage is narrow. Fat people not sure if you can climb in and out.

Cave inside is dark but you can rent torches from village people waiting for customers at the cave entrance.

The trial to Cung Po Tsai Cave is 200 meters away from my flat.

The red building at the left is where my flat is. A small sampan pier at the right.

The sea view from this high vista is pretty lovely.

The tallest building at this village are these 3 blocks. My flat is at the block at the left. 2nd Floor.

When you come to this island you might feel in a different country. Here is not the upscale, modernized Hong Kong.

Those who are tied of concrete city find this place a gorgeous.

These are the water taxis of the Island (see photo above). The boats park at Sai Wan Village...

Cheung Chau Island is only two kilometers in length

A lot densely populated small island. Remarkably and charmingly with temples, trendy beaches.

What most interested me are the isolated footpaths over the hills and along most crazy stretches of coastline.
