Ng Tung Chai

[2] It is the departure point of a trail leading to a group of waterfalls, on the northern slope of Tai Mo Shan.

It was historically a Hakka village, mainly inhabited by members of the Yau (邱), Sham (沈) and Koo (古) families.

[4] Man Tak Yuen [zh-yue] (萬德苑) is a Taoist temple located to the south of Ng Tung Chai village, along the path leading to the waterfalls.

Man Tak Chi Sin Seh had been founded in 1951 in Kowloon, worshipping Lu Tsu (呂祖).

[9][10] The Ng Tung Chai ravine on the north-west of Tai Mo Shan, covering an area of 226 hectares, is floristically one of the richest places in Hong Kong.

Species found there include dysoxylum hongkongense, dendrobenthamia hongkongensis, machilus, asplenium nidus, cyathea spinulosa and paris chinensis.

The tree is said to usually occur in Hong Kong in natural woodland on lower hill slopes and in fung shui woods behind villages.
