In 1930, due to the chaos of the Chinese civil war, Reichelt moved his work to Sha Tin, Hong Kong,[4] and asked a Danish architect, Johannes Prip-Moller to design the buildings.
Extensive restoration work took place from 2009 to 2011 with the help of the Hong Kong government's Financial Assistance for Maintenance Scheme.
Tao Fong Shan is located in the rural part of Sha Tin, but can be easily reached by walking.
From East Rail line's Sha Tin station, it only takes 20 minutes to get to the centre via a hiking trail.
In addition, Tao Fong Shan Service Unit also operates a shuttle bus just for staff and guests at the Centre a few times daily from Sha Tin.
