Lai Chi Wo
Lai Chi Wo is a Hakka village near Sha Tau Kok, in the northeastern New Territories of Hong Kong.
Lai Chi Wo is a Hakka village near Sha Tau Kok, in the northeastern New Territories of Hong Kong. It is described as a "walled village" by some sources. Lai Chi Wo is located within Plover Cove Country Park and near Yan Chau Tong Marine Park. Founded by the Tsang and Wong families who established Lai Chi Wo over 300 years ago. The Tsangs' ancestors migrated from Shandong, while a Wong ancestor was a military commander who fled the fall of the Ming Dynasty. These two Hakka clans built the village, though their descendants have since dispersed, with only a few families still residing there, often in urban areas or abroad. As a result of this outward migration, the majority of the current residents are from the Tsang family, with only a few Wongs remaining in the village today.
