Hi there,

The marker is dropped next to the Route 3 bridge as shown above.  I believe the actual site should include the space under the Route 3 bridge up to the old Tsing Yi Bridge.

Hi there,

There are some smaller village scale incinerators around.  Despite most had fallen into disuse, I think the one at Pak Mong Village is still intact. See Photo #11 in the URL.
