Walking between Shek Mun Kap and Shek Lau Po yesterday, came across a very very old banyan tree in the jumble of abandoned woods and farms and wondered whether this is the tree mentioned? Could not see a dedicated shrine nearby although I didn't enter the village, but the shrine at the entrance to Shek Mun Kap is a little further along the path. People in the area have made a shrine of sorts at the foot of the tree.

Hi There,

Your marker is in another location altogether.  The one I stated is very close to the stream\seaside.

There are lots of old trees in the area though.  Unfortunately Street View did not cover that shrine at the moment.

T

ps   see screen capture from GeoInfo Map of approximate location of the shrine.  Not visible under all the trees, but it is at that corner along the path.
