Lau Fau Shan

Lau Fau Shan is traditionally famous for fresh oysters. About 100 tons were harvested every year, some for consumption in Hong Kong restaurants and some for export to neighboring countries. However, little remains of this today since most of the inhabitants of Lau Fau Shan have given up oyster culture.Lau Fau Shan Tourism: Lau Fau Shan, Hong Kong Travel Guide | Planet Ware "{{cite web |url=http://www.planetware.com/hong-kong/lau-fau-shan-hk-nt-lf.htm |title=Lau Fau Shan Tourism: Lau Fau Shan, Hong Kong Travel Guide | PlanetWare |accessdate=2010-07-04 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100726025011/http://www.planetware.com/hong-kong/lau-fau-shan-hk-nt-lf.htm |archivedate=26 July 2010}}."
