Contagion - Matt Damon (2011) - Hok Tau, Fanling

Better late than never, but this is sometimes the way it goes with the more obscure locations. I've finally found the rural area where the Chinese village scenes were filmed for Contagion. If you can recall, this is the village where Marion Cotillard's character is kidnapped and taken to whilst a vaccination is formulated to counter the pandemic. It turns out the place is fairly off-the-beaten-track after all. The general area is close to Hok Tau village and reservoir but the specific area used for filming is just north of a small village called San Uk Tsai (新屋仔) about 1km north of the Rainbow Strawberry Farm (assuming that place is still open).
