This village was submerged by the 1912 Tai Tam Tuk Dam. However, the old families are represented by the Tai Tam Tuk Association and they have an annual dragon boat race and several other social events that bring old villagers back.

‘We slept in the ship and next morning returned to Wong Nai Chung and followed a narrow path over naked rocky hills and valleys and frequent streams.
After several miles we found a larger stream with several fields along its banks which we followed to Tai Tam, a village of 10-12 families totaling 70-100 people.
There was more natural forest here than anywhere else.
