Administration

[edit]

Kam Tin San Tsuen is a recognized village under the New Territories Small House Policy.[1]

History

[edit]

Kam Tin Shing Mun San Tsuen was populated by inhabitants of Shing Mun Valley villages, who were displaced for the construction of the Shing Mun Reservoir in the late 1920s.[2]

Features

[edit]

A Hip Tin temple is located within Kam Tin Shing Mun San Tsuen. The temple is owned by the Cheng clan. It was probably built around 1920.[3] It was relocated from Shing Mun Valley in the 1920s due to the construction of the Shing Mun Reservoir and the resulting resettlement of Shing Mun San Tsuen.[4]
