Sai Pin Wai


Sai Pin Wai, sometimes transliterated as Sai Bin Wai, is a walled village in the Yuen Long Kau Hui area of Yuen Long District, Hong Kong.

History

The village was set up by the Tang Clan of Kam Tin probably in the 17th century. The Tang later considered that Sai Pin Wai and the nearby Nam Pin Wai, that they had also set up, were of bad feng shui and moved to nearby Ying Lung Wai.
Sai Pin Wai later became a multi-clan village inhabited by many Punti families surnamed Ng, Lau, Fan, Tang, Cheng, Leung, Wong and Lam. The Lams settled in the village in 1626 coming from Xixiang of Baoan, Guangdong Province.

Features

Sai Pin Wai consists mainly of five rows of houses facing west.
