Village

The village of Tai Long (大浪) is located north of the bay. It is a recognized village under the New Territories Small House Policy.^[1] The village only has a small population of elderly residents and some organic farms.

The lack of light pollution makes it a great spot for stargazing and firefly spotting, and after sightings in Hong Kong of the rare firefly Rhagophthalmus the Hong Kong Firefly Museum was opened there in 2010.^[2]
