Where to stay in Tai Sang Wai
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Tai Sang Wai is a village, not a hotel district. Travellers base themselves in the built-up centres nearby, most often the town of Yuen Long to the south-west, which carries the nearest real choice of rooms in this part of the New Territories. Tin Shui Wai lies further west. You trade walking distance to shops for quiet, and for a drive of a few minutes back out to the village.
