These images were taken from the area of the temple up on the slope of Castle Peak.

As its another 20 years since I took the last one in 1996 it would would be nice to obtain a 2016 version.

Whenever I have been in Tuen Mun in recent times it has always been too hazy to try and replicate these earlier views.

Residents or hikers might be able to oblige?

If tall buildings now block the view, for the purposes of creating a photographic timeline, it doesn't really matter

The marker is marked based on the GPS coordinates of the Trigoman's Castle Peak 517m Trigo Station.  If there are errors they are entirely mine.   Thanks should be made to JW and his gang for the location and theory of this site, together with the Shek Lung Kung site.

The location is documented in 新安縣誌﹐ and some other documents.  The discussions of JW and his gang concerning this Beacon and others could be located here.   The discussions are generally in Chinese.
