From a hilltop we spotted this abandoned village, and decided to find our way down to it.

We found a store room full of pots and this large, flat pan. What was stored in these pots? What was the pan used for? Why were they left here?

Sam A Wan View

We scrambled far up the hillside above Sam A Wan and found great views of Wings and the surroundings. The hill was steep and we didn't want to go down, so we roamed around the ridges above and found a better trail.

Wandering around in the hills we found other villages, most abandoned. The houses there were unlocked and open, and inside we found personal belongings and furniture, and on one house, this wooden threshing machine.

This is Lai Chi Wo, a traditional chinese farming village. The sites of villages like this are carefully selected, taking fully into consideration all aspects of fung shui, including the hill and forest behind, the view of the water, a stream flowing by.

We went for a walk around Sam A Wan and found this noodle house; popular with the hikers who come here to explore the hills and abandoned villages.

Tap Mun, a Chinese fishing village. No roads to this island, and no airfield, means that the people here depend on water traffic for access to the mainland.
