Tai Sang Wai

Tai Sang Wai (Chinese: 大生圍), sometimes transliterated as Tai Shang Wai, is a village in the San Tin area of Yuen Long District, Hong Kong.

History

The development of Fairview Park on fish farming land at Tai Shang Wai was a source of controversy at the time of its planning and construction in the mid-1970s. Concerns included ecological aspects, due to its proximity to marshland bordering Deep Bay, and the transport implications, with the majority of the inhabitants expected to work in the Victoria Harbour area.[1]
