Taishan Part 3: The Yau House





A village consists of several Li's. Li means Lane in Taishanese. NaiTai Village has about 3 Li's. The Yau house is in JungWoLi.

There are 8-10 houses built in a row in JungWoLi . There is no address; each house is identified only as house number 1, number 2, etc. The Yau house is the 3rd house from the left.

The main entrance of each house is located on the left side. The front of the house is known as hongie in Taishanese. There is a pond in front of JungWoLi. Near it are piles of twigs (for burning?) and free-range chicken.
