Recordist's notes
Tai To Yan is located in the Lam Tsuen Country Park in the northern New Territories. It is named because the ridge resembles a knife. The vice peak in the north is called "North Tai To Yan", while the main mountain on the south is officially called "Tai To Yan", which can also be called "South Tai To Yan". Tai To Yan was originally called "Tai To Yan", but its current name was once again translate into cantonese of the English translation of the Hakka dialect at that time. Compared with the momentum of the peak, the mountainside is more peaceful, and the animals and plants live in peace under the protection of the big trees. 大刀屻位於新界北部林村郊野公園內,因山脊形似一張刀而名。北面副峰名為「北大刀屻」,而南面主山峰正式名稱為「大刀屻」,也可名為「南大刀屻」。大刀屻原名為「剃刀屻」,現名為當時客家話的英譯再翻譯而來。比起峰頂的氣勢,山腰更見平靜,動植物受大樹保護下安然過活,平靜非凡。
