Tsung Tsai Yuen is still a popular place to have an outdoor picnic because of the beautiful scenery and the long river below. The Mang Gui Kiu Bridge was originally called the Hung Shui Kiu, meaning Bridge of Flooding because of being flooded because of rain frequently. This is what led to the tragedy on that day 1955 when 28 children died.
On 28th of August in 1955 there was a group of teachers from the St. James’ Settlement that were driving through with children from the Tai Po Rural Orphanage. The teachers and students were on a week-long trip and were having a final picnic before returning home.
At 13:30 in the afternoon they got caught in heavy rain and they all ran to take shelter under the Mang Gui Kiu Bridge. But it rained too hard and the bridge was flooded and a sudden landslide washed them away. There were only a few survivors, but it is said that many of them remained as ghosts, haunting the bridge to this day.
They claim to have seen ashen-faced children waving in the dark at passing cars at night, running over the nearby roads.
There are even some locals that have claimed to have seen their children both holding hands and playing with just air at times, almost like there are some ghostly children there with them.
Taxi and bus drivers have also said that they have experienced passengers that get into their vehicles only to vanish into thin air as soon as they turn on the engine and lights.
One of these stories was aout one of the bus drivers that drove the route passed Mang Gui Kiu Bridge with an empty bus when he saw a woman. She got onboard, but the driver noticed that there was only a crumpled piece of chinese ghost money in the cashbox, not real money for the living.
He shouted back at the pale woman that had just stepped onto his ride, but when he turned there was no one there. He thought to himself that it had to be a ghost and kept on driving to not offend the spirit and perhaps even help her.
When approaching the next stop he saw that the signal light was on and he pulled into the stop and opened the door, even though no passengers stepping on or off was in sight.
Then he suddenly hears a voice saying Thank You.
This is not the only haunted tale from this area though. It is said that the nearby village, the Dan Kwai Village was an alleged execution place during the Second Sino-Japanese War from 1937-1945, primarily a conflict between the Republic of China and the Empire of Japan.
It is said that the blood of the executed were washed into the water under the Mang Gui Kiu Bridge, coloring it red.
Years later it was reported about the sound of soldiers marching from the locals and seeing their ghosts at midnight.
