Nam Sang Wai is a wetland area in San Tin, New Territories, Hong Kong to the north of Yuen Long.
Since the 1990s, various development proposals have been made at Nam Sang Wai by a consortium of Henderson Land and KHI Holdings Group.
[3] In what is considered to be a landmark case in the history of Hong Kong’s planning law regime, the Privy Council upheld the decision of the Town Planning Appeal Board approving development of a large scale residential, golf course, and nature reserve at Nam Sang Wai with conditions.
[5] The area is threatened by illegal logging and by fires (see below), on land owned by the Nam Sang Wai Development Company, that environmental advocates called "suspicious" and "professionally started".
[7] KHI Holdings Group, which retains 50 per cent of the Nam Sang Wai Development Company Limited (NSWD), took over the role of project manager in 2011.
For improved car access, the developer proposed a vehicular bridge spanning the Shan Pui River.
[12] The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) responded that it considered "avoidance of any ecological impact as a priority ahead of compensation".
[15] A video clip later emerged in local media showing two potential witnesses at the scene, even though the Hong Kong Police said they found no CCTV footage at the site.
[16] A small boat in the southern part of Nam Sang Wai serves as a ferry across the Kam Tin River towards the village of Shan Pui Tsuen, north of Yuen Long Kau Hui.
