About Ho Sheung Heung
Where to stay in Ho Sheung Heung
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Sleeping is done in Sheung Shui. Ho Sheung Heung holds lanes and open ground where a town would keep hotel blocks, so most visitors take a room in the Sheung Shui town centre and ride out to the area for the day. Lung Sum Avenue marks its civic and sporting edge.
The real depth of rooms sits far south, in Kowloon and on Hong Kong Island.
About Ho Sheung Heung
What are the main landmarks in Ho Sheung Heung?
No ticketed attraction stands in Ho Sheung Heung. The one facility tied to the area is the Lung Sum Avenue Sports Centre, which sits in the Sheung Shui town centre and serves the wider North District rather than the village lanes. The rest is walking.
A day here runs on lanes, field edges and the ride back into Sheung Shui, with the New Territories carrying the set-piece sights further out.
What is the history of Ho Sheung Heung?
Founding dates pass this area by. What the record holds is a placement rather than a chronicle: an area of Sheung Shui, sitting inside the North District, one of the administrative units Hong Kong lays across the New Territories. Civic building went to the Sheung Shui side, where the Lung Sum Avenue Sports Centre stands, while Ho Sheung Heung stayed a named area rather than a centre in its own right.
The name outlasted the boundaries drawn around it.
Where is Ho Sheung Heung?
Ho Sheung Heung sits on the Sheung Shui ground of the North District, inland in the New Territories, a long way from the Hong Kong harbour.
