Neighbourhood Features
Tin Shui Wai is located in the northwestern part of the New Territories. Originally, the land in Tin Shui Wai was sold by the government to developers. However, in order to develop a new town, the government repurchased the land from developers for residential and commercial purposes.
In 1992, the first public housing estate in Tin Shui Wai, Tin Yiu (1) Estate, was completed. Subsequently, private residential projects were gradually introduced, leading to an increase in the local population. In the 1990s, the Light Rail line was introduced in the Tin Shui Wai area, and with the opening of the Tai Lam Tunnel, the local transportation network was significantly improved.
The community has well-established facilities, including cultural and recreational amenities, sports fields, schools, swimming pools, hospitals, and several estate shopping malls such as +WOO and Kingswood Richly Plaza, meeting basic living needs. The area is home to the 61-hectare Hong Kong Wetland Park, offering natural ecology and beautiful scenery, adding a unique landscape to the community.
