Shek Pik San Tsuen or Shek Pik New Village (Chinese: 石碧新村) aka. Shek Pik Resettlement is an urban village in Tsuen Wan District, Hong Kong.

History

The villages of Shek Pik Valley - Shek Pik, Fan Pui, Kong Pui (崗貝) and the hamlet of Hang Tsai (坑仔)[1] - were demolished and cleared to allow construction of the Shek Pik Reservoir. A total of about 260 people were resettled as a consequence. Most of the villagers of Shek Pik Village moved into five-story apartment blocks in the urban Shek Pik New Village in Tsuen Wan. Most of the villagers of Fan Pui moved to a new village nearby, Tai Long Wan Tsuen (大浪灣村) at Tai Long Wan, Shek Pik. Some families from both villages moved to a row of houses near Mui Wo Ferry Pier.[2]

Administration

Shek Pik San Tsuen is a recognized village under the New Territories Small House Policy.[3]
