The lower areas were cleared by the early 1970s so that Lai Tak Tsuen could be built on the site. 'Map: 1972.3 Aerial Map' at https://www.hkmaps.hk/viewer.htmlshows the construction of Lai Tak Tsuen was underway.

There are some distinctive rocks on the hillside that can be used to identify this village in other photos - see the thread at https://gwulo.com/media/55908 for details.
