I received the following Chinese characters from my cousin when I asked for more details of the location of the Tang Village: 护龙管区大楼村东兴里.
Google Translates as: Hulong Dao District Building Village Dongxing Lane. (Might it be spelled as: Dongxiang Li?)
Anyway, I hope that is of some use to you expert folks for identifying a specific village....
Thank you.

大樓村 / Tai Lau / Dà Lóu Cūn (鄧 / Tang / Dèng) is a Tang village per villagedb.Can you tell me how far is it in relation to Situ Library? >>>> I'm afraid I can't as I was simply "along for the ride/tour". I lost track because we went to the Tang village only after going to the Soo Hoo village AND the Soo Hoo business building (which is next to the Situ Library.)Is the coordinates I gave you the approximate location?>>>The coordinates for both the Situ Library and the Soo Hoo village were spot on. Using satellite view, I immediately recognized the Soo Hoo gate along with the pond & trees in the village. I thought I found the village, but the road leading to the gate (assumed) is not straight, but with a little curve. Also can't understand the tall buildings at the end of the road. Are they from a village not immediately adjacent to the Tang village.>>>> I don't recall what the tall buildings down the road. Your picture does not indicate buildings on the right side. So what is on the right side, ponds or buildings?>>>>There is a concrete pad in front of all the houses and a small pond right next to the concrete.Now I do remember the road that goes past the Tang village gate is a road rather than a driveway. I thought it was a straight road, but not totally sure......

Yes, completely different 大楼 area. Actually 大楼村 is the administrative village and your village is 东兴里, much closer to Library. 22.308304, 112.603735 [for 东兴 Dongxing]. There is another 东兴里, southeast of the coordinates, but is in Taishan.

sanhe:
That Situ Library street view link was absolutely great! I could go up and down the street and spotted my grandfathers business building.
Thanks,
