Kam Tsin Wai
Appearance
Kam Tsin Wai (Chinese: 金錢圍) is a village located in the south of Shek Kong Airfield, in Pat Heung, Yuen Long District, Hong Kong.[1]
Features
The Cheng Hon Pang Ancestral Hall (翰鵬鄭家祠) was built in 1929. It was later converted into a Catholic church called Our Lady of Sorrows Chapel (聖母七苦小堂), which was served from S.S. Peter and Paul Church (聖伯多祿聖保祿堂) in Yuen Long District (built in 1925 in Tung Tau Tsuen, S.S. Peter and Paul Church was relocated and rebuilt at No. 201 Castle Peak Road, near Shui Pin Tsuen, in 1958)[2]. The Chengs later redeemed the ancestral hall from the Catholic Church in the mid-1960s and the church at the hall was closed.[1]
