Those up and around the Lin Fa Shan section of Tai Lam Forest Trail were like 'fox holes', scattered over the slopes and on the road side. Obviously the 'fox holes' were likely illegal mines while the bigger one in Sheung Tong ran out of business decades ago.

Re: Tungstan mine
Hi there,
The only 'organized' mine in the area was in Sheung Tong village, where the spoils could still be seen today.
Those up and around the Lin Fa Shan section of Tai Lam Forest Trail were like 'fox holes', scattered over the slopes and on the road side.
Obviously the 'fox holes' were likely illegal mines while the bigger one in Sheung Tong ran out of business decades ago.
