Luk Keng Chan Uk is a recognized village under the New Territories Small House Policy.
For electoral purposes, Luk Keng Chan Uk is part of the Sha Ta constituency, which is currently represented by Ko Wai-kei.
[4] Those that came to Luk Keng erected the water barrier upon which the main road now travels upon, separating the village's agricultural land from the seawater.
The school was located next to Tung Wo Market in Sha Tau Kok, which at the time was adjacent to the Chinese side of the frontier.
This was partly due to UK immigration policy at the time and with little work available in the village the inhabitants sought to earn money elsewhere.
