Can you feel it? The weight of history here at Sheung Keng Hau. Sheung Keng Hau is nestled within the Tai Wai area, a place brimming with stories. This single-surname village, belonging to the Wai clan, has witnessed over 300 years of history unfold. The Wai Ancestral Hall stands as a testament to their enduring presence, having been rebuilt in 1930. Imagine life in Sheung Keng Hau in 1911. The village, then known as Keng Hau, bustled with 195 inhabitants, 86 of them men. The surrounding area, Tai Wai, is a fascinating mix of old and new. Once a collection of traditional farming villages, it transformed into a light industrial area in the 1970s before becoming the modern residential area you see today. The original Tai Wai Village, a walled village dating back to the Ming Dynasty, is nearby. From humble beginnings cultivating rice, vegetables, and fruits, Tai Wai has evolved dramatically. This evolution, fueled by the development of Sha Tin New Town, has brought public housing estates, private apartments, and even luxury housing to the area. Yet, amidst this urban sprawl, Sheung Keng Hau retains its unique village character, a charming reminder of a bygone era. This area, rich with ancestral halls, temples, and historical remnants, invites exploration. The story of Sheung Keng Hau is more than just the story of a village. It is a microcosm of Hong Kong’s dynamic history.
