Kau Sai San Tsuen

Kwun Yam Temple along Hiram's Highway in Kau Sai San Tsuen.

Kau Sai San Tsuen (Chinese: 滘西新村) is a village in the Hebe Haven area of Sai Kung District, Hong Kong.

History[]

In 1952, Hakka farmers and shopkeepers of Kau Sai Chau were required to relocate, because the place was located in the centre of a large area of sea about to be designated as a military firing range. The villagers were resited to Kau Sai San Tsuen. At the time of the relocation, the village was described as "a new village of 17 houses, family temple, school hall, pigsties, grass-stores and latrine".^[1]^[2]
