Tai Po Tsai Village
Tai Po Tsai Village is a recognized village under the New Territories Small House Policy.[1]
The indigenous Punti (Template:Zh) villagers all have the Chinese surname of Wan (Template:Zh).
Because of its proximity to Shaw Studios and TVB many of their artists rent apartments in the village. Simon Yam Tat-Wah was a long term resident among others. In the 1960s due to its isolation and lack of transport facility, the local villagers set up a primary school for its inhabitants. The school was called Kwong Pui Primary School.
History
Tai Po Tsai is a Cantonese village founded in 1629, making it one of the older villages in Sai Kung.[2] Tai Po Tsai was part of the inter-village grouping, the Ho Chung Tung (Template:Zh) or Ho Chung Seven Villages (Template:Zh), which had its centre in Ho Chung.[3]
At the time of the 1911 census, the population of Tai Po Tsai was 172. The number of males was 77.[4]
The British Army sited Erskine Barracks adjacent to the village. Among some of the army units stationed there were The Black Watch, The Duke of Edinburgh's Royal Regiment and the Royal Cheshire regiments.
The Diamond Scouting Jubilee Jamboree (27 Dec 1986-01 Jan 1987) was held on the site (Kohima Camp) that was to become the future home of The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.[5]
