Au Pui Wan

About Au Pui Wan

Au Pui Wan, also written 坳背灣, is a village in the Fo Tan area of Sha Tin District, Hong Kong. The mapped settlement lies southeast of Grassy Hill in the New Territories. Au Pui Wan is listed as a recognized village under Hong Kong’s New Territories Small House Policy and is represented within the Sha Tin Rural Committee. The village is also associated with the resident-representative election arrangements for Sha Tin’s recognized villages. Hong Kong’s Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department describes Au Pui Wan as an abandoned village just outside Tai Po Kau Nature Reserve. The Hong Kong Herbarium recorded Camellia furfuracea at the site and collected seeds from the local population for propagation. This botanical record gives Au Pui Wan significance beyond its administrative status: the locality is also documented as a place connected with Hong Kong’s native plant conservation work. The supplied OpenStreetMap point is positioned close to the coordinates published for the village, identifying this record as the rural settlement rather than Au Pui Wan Street or a building on that road. No visitor hours, admission charge, telephone number, or formal visitor facility is recorded here.
