It is referred to as South Soko Island in some media articles. GeographyWith an area of 1.2 km², Tai A Chau is the largest of the Soko Islands. It is located 4.5 km to the south of Lantau Island and about 2 km north of the boundary of the Hong Kong territorial waters.[1] The island has small hills with heights ranging from 85m to 154m. Its coastline is mainly steeply sloped and rocky in nature.[1] HistoryThere were historically two villages on the island: Ha Tsuen and Sheung Tsuen on the west and south sides of the island. The villagers left in the 1980s, when a detention camp for Vietnamese refugees was built.[1] In 1937, Walter Schofield, then a Cadet Officer in the Hong Kong Civil Service, wrote "There is a shrimp paste factory here which exports to Europe and America".[2] Tai A Chau Detention Centre was home to thousands of Vietnamese refugees from 1991 to 1996.{{Citation needed|date=February 2011}} The centre was closed prior to the handover in 1997 and all the building structures were demolished.[1] FeaturesThe island has a temple dedicated to Tin Hau and seven earth shrines.[3] Two helicopter landing pads and a small jetty remain from the island's former detention centre.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 Islands District Council.
