Gazing out across the shimmering waters, have you ever considered the tales whispered by the Ngor Tau Tsui? Ngor Tau Tsui, a cape bathed in the salty air and kissed by the relentless waves, holds secrets as old as the sea itself. Ngor Tau Tsui, sometimes called the “Southern End,” is a geographical landmark with significant relevance to Shenzhen’s history.
Nantou, a historical monument in Shenzhen, is nestled near Ngor Tau Tsui. It stands as a testament to the rich tapestry of time. Once the bustling administrative heart of Xin’an County, Nantou’s story intertwines with that of Ngor Tau Tsui. From the ancient city walls of Nantou, one could almost imagine gazing out at Ngor Tau Tsui, a silent sentinel guarding the coastline. The inhabitants of Nantou extended southward, their lives influenced by the proximity to the cape. They plied their trades along Taishanwan, reaching as far as Chenwuwei and encompassing Guankou and Shiqiaotou.
Nantou’s significance as a historical landmark is echoed in the very name of Nanshan District. From 1983 to 1990, the district proudly bore the name Nantou District, a tribute to the prominence of this ancient town. The bustling energy of Ngor Tau Tsui and the surrounding areas is palpable even today, with over 20,000 inhabitants calling Nantou their home. Their daily lives, their routines, their very existence, are woven into the continuing narrative of Ngor Tau Tsui, a story written by the ebb and flow of time and tide.
