Shek Wai Kok (Template:Zh) is a hilly area at the northeast of Tsuen Wan in Hong Kong.

History

Both the original Shek Wai Kok and Lo Wai villages have been described as the oldest villages of Tsuen Wan.[1]

In late 19th Century, it was one of four yeuk (Template:Zh) in Tsuen Wan, together with Hoi Pa, Kwai Chung and Tsing Yi. The heads of four yeuks formed the Tsuen Wan Security Council (Template:Zh) to secure the area of Tsuen Wan.

The area was historically occupied by villages, which were relocated to Wo Yi Hop Road near Lei Muk Shue Estate in Kwai Chung and called Shek Wai Kok Sun Village (Template:Zh), since the construction of public housing estate, Shek Wai Kok Estate (Template:Zh).

Administration

Shek Wai Kok is a recognized village under the New Territories Small House Policy.[2]
