Tin Shui Wai

Tucked along the former fishpond country of northwestern Hong Kong, Tin Shui Wai is a place whose character is shaped by the tidal wetlands of Deep Bay. This planned new town in Yuen Long District grew rapidly from the 1990s on land reclaimed from fishponds, giving it a distinctly different rhythm from Hong Kong Island’s commercial core. Hong Kong Wetland Park, on its northern edge, interprets the habitats of the Deep Bay area, while the Light Rail links neighbourhoods across the northwest New Territories. The older walled villages and ancestral halls of the nearby Ping Shan Heritage Trail recall Yuen Long’s long-settled rural culture.
