Bei Hou
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bei Hou (庇 厚) is a village just west of Taicheng in Taishan City in the Guangdong Province of southern China.
All of its inhabitants are of one patrilineage with the clan name of Tan (譚), and have family in Taicheng and Yangjiang. Rice, fish, bananas, pawpaw and pig feed are grown.
On March 3, 1941, Japanese troops attacked the village as part of the assault on neighbouring Taicheng Township. Bullet holes are still visible in the fabric of the now-defunct village clan school, and through one of the neighbouring palm trees. Some years ago, a modern heritage hall was built, and reported in the local media when it was opened. It is now in a delapidated state.
