Sha Tin Wai

Sha Tin Wai Resite Area, are recognized villages under the New Territories Small House Policy.

[1] The village was established by the Tse (謝), Cheng (鄭) and Lam (林) clans from Pok Law (Boluo County) in the mid-17th century.

[2] One of the branch of Tse relocated to nearby Yuen Chau Kok to establish their own village.

As a consequence of successive land reclamation of the former estuary that started in 1905, it is now separated from the Shing Mun River by Sha Kok Estate.

The modern day Shing Mun River was the residual of the Sha Tin Sea.
