About San Hui
Where to stay in San Hui
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Two poles pull a stay here. San Hui puts the food market and the commercial streets of Tuen Mun District within walking reach, which keeps meals, errands, and transfers short for anyone basing in the quarter. The sports centres suggest another base.
Rooms toward the Siu Lun Sports Centre and the Yau Oi Sports Centre trade market noise for quieter blocks, and The Jockey Club Tuen Mun Butterfly Beach Sports Centre draws stays out toward the shore.
About San Hui
What are the main landmarks in San Hui?

San Hui works as a food market and commercial quarter, and its stalls and shopfronts pull shoppers from across Tuen Mun New Town.
What is the history of San Hui?
Tuen Mun San Hui is the fuller name. The quarter grew as the market and trading side of Tuen Mun District, and Hong Kong planners later folded it into Tuen Mun New Town, so the older market rows sit inside a designed street layout. Shorter usage won out.
Most people drop the district prefix and simply say San Hui, while the full form still marks it as one area among several in Tuen Mun District.
