Shan Pui Tsuen
Shan Pui Tsuen (Chinese: 山背村) is a village in Shap Pat Heung, Yuen Long District, Hong Kong.
Shan Pui Tsuen is located north of a hill separating it from Yuen Long Kau Hui. A small boat near the village entrance serves as a ferry across the Kam Tin River towards Nam Sang Wai in the north.
Shan Pui Tsuen was founded by Lam Siu-yuen (林兆元), a 13th generation member of the Lam Clan, who moved from Tai Wai Tsuen some 200 years ago. Historically, the village was facing a large piece of fishing ponds.
Shan Pui Tsuen is part of the Tung Tau alliance (東頭約) or "Joint Meeting Group of Seven Villages", together with Nam Pin Wai, Tung Tau Tsuen, Ying Lung Wai, Choi Uk Tsuen, Wong Uk Tsuen and Tai Wai Tsuen. The Yi Shing Temple in Wong Uk Tsuen is an alliance temple of the Tung Tau Alliance.
Lam Ancestral Hall (林氏家祠), located at No. 157 Shan Pui Tsuen, in the eastern part of the village, was probably built in the 19th century. The building was used as the classrooms of a school for teaching village children in the 1930s-1960s, and as classrooms of a kindergarten in 1967-1968.
Several old residential houses in the village are Qing vernacular buildings and are considered to have built heritage value.
