Description

The Bela Vista Villa are a series of bungalows gathered near the Tung Wan beach in central Cheung Chau. It has been said to be haunted after a woman with marital problems killed his son and proceeded to hang herself wearing Chinese traditional clothes in 1989. Since then, there were repeated sightings of her ghost around the area, and more than 20 cases of suicides occurred within the resort. Of these cases, many were linked to burning charcoal, hence its nickname "the Resort of Charcoal Suicide". However, to this day, it is still a popular dwelling location for visitors, with rentals especially soaring during the most famous festival on the island.
