Features
The bay is a preserved tropical natural environment. Thick and high trunks of trees can be found in the area.
Two adjacent temples are located in Sha Lo Wan. The Ba Kong Temple (把港古廟, lit. "guarding the bay"), dedicated to Hung Shing, was built in 1774. To its right is a Tin Hau Temple, built in 1919. A wall is connecting the two temples at the front façade.
Sha Lo Wan Tsuen was constructed in the form of four parallel rows of houses. A 3m high village entrance gate, made of granite blocks and slabs, built about 200 years ago remains in the north of the village, while the attached defensive wall has been demolished.

Famous quotes containing the word features:
“Each reader discovers for himself that, with respect to the simpler features of nature, succeeding poets have done little else than copy his similes.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
““It looks as if
Some pallid thing had squashed its features flat
And its eyes shut with overeagerness
To see what people found so interesting
In one another, and had gone to sleep
Of its own stupid lack of understanding,
Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuff
Short off, and died against the windowpane.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
