Lai Chi Wo
荔枝窝
One of the most complete Hakka walled villages in northeast New Territories, with a feng shui woodland and mangroves more than 300 years old.
Lai Chi Wo lies within Shuen Wan Country Park, near Sha Tau Kok Bay. Its more than 200 Hakka village houses make it one of the best-preserved Hakka walled villages in Hong Kong. Behind the village, the feng shui woodland includes huge looking-glass trees with buttress roots. By the sea there are mangroves and mudflats, which are part of the Hong Kong Geopark. In recent years villagers and groups have revived farming here, and on weekends you can buy local snacks. Ferries leave Ma Liu Shui on weekends and public holidays and take about 1.5 hours. You can also walk from Wu Kau Tang in about 2 hours.
