Kam Hing Wai (Chinese :錦慶圍) is a walled village located in the Kam Tin area of Yuen Long District, in Hong Kong. Three other walled villages; Kat Hing Wai, Wing Lung Wai, and Tai Hong Wai) are located nearby and were built around the same time. [1]
Kam Hing Wai is a recognized village under the New Territories Small House Policy. [2]
Kam Hing Wai was established by the Tang clan and is probably dated to the Ming dynasty. [3]
Kam Hing Wai was a walled village with a moat surrounding the village; however, the moat was filled and the walls no longer stand. Only 3 to 4 village houses remain in the original traditional architectural style built with grey bricks. Others are replaced by 2 to 3 storey modern buildings. A temple is located at the northeast corner of the village. An Earth God shrine is located at the southeast of the village. [3]
