About Tai Sang Wai
Where to stay in Tai Sang Wai
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
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.
About Tai Sang Wai
What are the main landmarks in Tai Sang Wai?
Tai Sang Wai keeps no ticketed sights. The named points a visitor is most likely to aim for lie outside it, west and north-west of the village at Lau Fau Shan and Tsim Bei Tsui, while the town of Yuen Long sits to the south-west. Closer in, the interest is the village pattern of San Tin, where small settlements each carry their own name across the ground north of Yuen Long.
What is the history of Tai Sang Wai?
Written record of the village is thin. Tai Sang Wai carries a second spelling, Tai Shang Wai, a reminder that the name reached English through transliteration rather than through any single agreed form. Its past is the past of San Tin, the wider village area of which it forms one part, inside the Yuen Long District that has long held the villages of this corner of Hong Kong.
