Tai Po Tsai
For the next month or so, I’ll be staying in a village on Hong Kong’s Sai Kung Peninsula named Tai Po Tsai. Tucked between Razor Hill and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, it’s a likable little place of narrow lanes and typical village houses. Although it is traditionally home to members of the Wan family, it feels a lot more cosmopolitan than most villages, probably because of its proximity to the university and a large television studio.

Tai Po Tsai has some farmland immediately south which used to be part of the old Shaw Brothers film studios (this is the land Run Run Shaw he recently tried to sell to his wife) before the HKUST and ESF school were built.
Nice blog.
