Arthur,
Without knowing the surname or the actual Chinese characters for the village, frequently it's hard to know which village are you looking for.

Try for yourself to find the village in this surname-village database,

Fox village = 狐狸村 Huli cun or 狐村 (HuCun) ?

(Cantonese: WuhLei)

The only Wong village whose name that I have found coming close to Mangka Hang is Mong Kor Hang (Mangguo Keng) 芒果坑 in Sam Sher Heung (Sanshe) 三社乡, 芒果 meaning mango.

I can't find the village on maps, but this is the heart of Sam Sher 三社, surrounding villages are the Wong villages of Sam Sher, coordinates "22.304, 112.736".

It's in the town of Sanba 3-8, not far from Kaiping City, about 5 km.

How is Fox Village connected to this?
