This would seem to be a good idea a bit ahead of its time. I wonder how long it operated and how many customers it attracted.

Hi there,

I have a faint impression that (I heard from some elders when I was a kid) there had been a nudist's assocation started up a resort in Shatin in the 1930's but had moved to somewhere in Ma Wan.  I wonder if this one would have anything to do with it........

Let's see if this could stir up some further discussions.

Best Regards,

T

quote from Pete Spurrier's "Leisurely Hikers Guide" First Edition.

p.292 - "The nearest tower of the bridge [Tsing Ma] stands on the site of Wok Tai Wan, a once secluded bay which was used as a nudist colony in the 1950s"

Wiki confirms T's reference to Shatin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wok_Tai_Wan
