Today the owner of a house at 30/31 Tai Peng is putting up a brick wall to enlarge it, and narrowing the already absurdly narrow path to upper Tai Peng.
I'd take a photo but I'd rather not provoke him while he has a trowel in his hand. I found one someone else took recently though, below.
Until this year I lived in "Upper Tai Peng" and getting through that choke point was always a challenge on a bike, often impossible with a trolley.
I'm sure the District Lands Office won't give a shit. They let villagers build anything, anywhere, regardless of inconvenience to neighbours, damage to the environment, blocking drainage..
Yeah, there is another way, you can circle round a block of houses, add 150 metres to your trek home, or add a km or two and come in via the Cable Road.
It's so inspiring how community minded Lamma villagers are.
