Tsang Tsui

Tsang Tsui is a place in Tuen Mun District, Hong Kong. It faces Shenzhen Bay and Shekou Port towards the northwest, and is bordered by Lung Kwu Tan to the west, and Nim Wan to the east.

History

Tsang Tsui was previously a bay with a beach and a rocky coast, home to a village of the same name. The village was first documented in 1975.
In 1986, the Government reclaimed land along the shore, and the oyster beds and the beaches were removed, in order to build the coal lakes for CLP Power. Most residents lost their livelihoods, and many were displaced to So Kwun Wat. This caused environmental damage throughout the area.
In 1987, a BBC radio station began its operations here, aiming to spread propaganda towards Mainland China; it was suspended in 1997 before the Handover of Hong Kong.
In 1993, Black Point Power Station and the were constructed nearby.
