Tai Wan Shan (Template:Zh) was a hill on the coast, that was the location of the "Easy Battery" later becoming a power station belonging to China Light and Power (now CLP Power).
Name
It is a common error that the character Script error: No such module "Lang". is mistakenly written with its homonym Script error: No such module "Lang". in Hong Kong. This has caused major confusion amongst local people, including government officials. The name of its major thoroughfare Tai Wan Road, illustrates this phenomenon.
