Cheung Muk Tau

Cheung Muk Tau (樟木頭) is a small village that belongs to Shap Sze Heung (十四鄉,Fourteen Township).
In the 70s and 80s, lots of HK's filmmakers used this distinctive area as a backdrop for numerous actionscenes.
This filming location had two identifying features:
A broad sand trail and the striking outline of Ngau Ngak Shan's north-western side.
Today, the sand trail is gone, but the ageless Ngau Ngak Shan is still standing strong.
