Kam Tin Shing Mun San Tsuen (Chinese: 錦田城門新村) or Kam Tin San Tsuen (錦田新村) is a village in the Kam Tin area of Yuen Long District, Hong Kong.
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]
