Development

This rural village of Hong Kong has seen the construction of new flats and new roads. The area to which Sha Lan Tsuen belongs, Shuen Wan, has attracted many real estate companies to build luxury flats that spans right across the whole area. One such projects is "The Beverly Hills" estate owned by the Henderson Land Development Group. The luxury flats cost more than HK$10,000,000. Although socially upgrading the area, it has somewhat spoilt the natural landscape and overcrowded the whole area, according to local people living in the village.
