In the heart of Tai Po district lies a ghost of a village, Kam Chuk Pai. Kam Chuk Pai was once a thriving Hakka village nestled within the Plover Cove Reservoir water gathering ground. Today, Kam Chuk Pai exists only in memory and the remnants of its past. The creation of the reservoir submerged some villages and cleared others for road works, including Kam Chuk Pai. The rising waters forced the villagers from their homes, leaving behind only fragmented buildings as silent witnesses to their displacement. The inhabitants of Kam Chuk Pai, along with those from five other Hakka villages, Siu Kau, Tai Kau, Wang Leng Tau, Chung Mei, and Chung Pui, were relocated to Luk Heung San Tsuen in Tai Po Market. The distance from Kam Chuk Pai to the regional capital of Tai Po is about 12 kilometers. Hong Kong, the bustling capital, is approximately 26 kilometers away. The former site of Kam Chuk Pai stands as a reminder of the cost of progress and the villages lost beneath the waves. Even though Kam Chuk Pai is no more, its name echoes the stories of those who once called it home.
