Cheung Chau 1978
About the land in this photo, the left region features the Chung Hing Street area which keeps the Tai Choi Yuen all hidden. The Peak Road runs along the top of the ridge.
The right region has Tai Shek Hau spreading along the shore. The tiny Tin Hau Temple is located near the northeast corner of the CLCY village. The area was like a Black Forest where a long ears wild man once lived. The higher level land is the Fairly Well area. It was quite an European Zone even in the 1950s and 60s. But this 1978 photo shows all have changed for many local CC islanders moved in this nice area.
