Hin Tin

Hin Tin is a recognized village under the New Territories Small House Policy.

[1] Hin Tin village was established with government funding in the 1920s to resettle three clans of villagers from Shek Lei Pui Valley (石梨貝谷), to make way for the construction of the Shek Lei Pui Reservoir, completed in 1925.

The Yeung (楊), the Law (羅) and the So (蘇) clans were Hakkas from Nantou who had settled in the Valley for some 300 years.

Another clan in the Valley, the Lau (劉), relocated to Kwai Chung instead of Hin Tin during the resettlement.

[2] The villagers who chose to settle in Hin Tin did so because they saw good income opportunities from the surrounding forest at that time.
