Known as Guan Lan Hu, which means Guanlan Lake. 159.180.99.199 (talk) 00:07, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
The Chinese name is not Mission Hill. There was once an abandoned Roman Catholic Chapel (known locally as the Tian Zhu Tang; Catholicism is known as the Tian Zhu religion, and Tang means a hall for meeting) near by, which was eventually flattened (recently) to make a road. I believe the place is simply known as The Guanlan Golf Course in Chinese. The golf course consists of entirely the former farming area of one local village, and the villagers have never been properly compensated for their loss of land and the loss of use of their land. The people who negotiated for this became rich overnight, but not the villagers. The course also failed to pay for its water supply for years. Nobody dares to raise a finger because it is said the princelings in Beijing are involved. So Mr Tiger Wood, Mr Nick Faldo and others, please enjoy your game of golf at Mission Hills, but remember the destruction of the lives of those who are from this piece of land and whose families have lived there for generations, just so that you can play, and so that a few people may become rich by cheating others out of their lands. 159.180.99.199 (talk) 00:09, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
- Guanlan Hu (Guanlan Lake). Ken Chu should be thoroughly ashamed. If he is really into philanthropy, it is time he returned the land to the villagers. Shame on you Dr Chu!!! 109.158.28.28 (talk) 00:16, 7 November 2015 (UTC) 159.180.99.199 (talk) 00:11, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
