Neighbourhood Features
Kwu Tung is located in the western part of the North District in the New Territories. Originally a village of squatter huts, it underwent gradual development into a new town with the adjacent areas of Fanling and Sheung Shui. Developers started acquiring land in Kwu Tung, leading to a gradual loss of population in the area. By 2010, the government proposed the Kwu Tung North New Town Plan to develop both commercial and residential projects, providing over 1,700 private housing units. The plan also includes the construction of the Kwu Tung MTR Station, serving as one of the stations on the East Rail Line and North Link Line, significantly improving the local transportation network.
At present, the area has basic living amenities, including the Kwu Tung Market Shopping Center, Kwu Tung Football Field, playgrounds, and a comprehensive welfare services building. For more consumer and entertainment options, residents can visit the Sheung Shui town center. In terms of transportation, there are bus and minibus routes within the area that lead to Sheung Shui Station, where residents can transfer to the MTR for travel to other regions.
Residential Distribution
Residential areas in the district are primarily located south of Fanling Road, with most residences scattered amidst lush green mountain views or along the river. Private buildings in this area include Ascot Park, Casas Domingo, Europa Garden, Eden Manor, Goodwood Park, Golf View Garden, Golf Villa, Grand Garden, La Regent Park, Nice Villa, Po Shu Garden, St Andrew's Place, St Andrew's Place, The Fairyland, The Royal Oaks, Wayfoong Bungalow and Yee Ting Garden.
