What secrets does San Shek Wan hold? San Shek Wan, a tranquil hamlet nestled on Lantau Island, seems an unlikely place for international intrigue. Yet, over half its residents are expatriates, drawn to this quiet corner of Hong Kong. The village itself is small, home to around 50 souls. West of San Shek Wan, a prominent hill overlooks the village, crowned by a campsite run by the Hong Kong Young Women’s Christian Association. Imagine the laughter of campers echoing down the hillside, mingling with the gentle sounds of village life. The story of San Shek Wan’s governance is a tale of two chiefs. Traditionally, only a select few could vote for the Indigenous Inhabitant Representative. These were men whose families had deep roots in the village, stretching back to 1889. However, a 2003 court ruling changed the landscape. It allowed for the election of a Residents Representative, chosen by all residents, including the newer arrivals. Both chiefs serve three-year terms, a testament to the village’s blend of tradition and modernity. San Shek Wan is part of the South Lantau Rural Committee, a link to the island’s broader community. When it comes to elections for the District Council, San Shek Wan falls within the Lantau constituency.
