Tin Sam Tsuen

Tin Sam Tsuen is a historic Hong Kong village, home to approximately 50 households for generations. Characterized by traditional brick houses and an ancestral hall, it has been a site of cultural practices and community gatherings. The village is currently newsworthy due to impending evictions as part of the government's Northern Metropolis blueprint. Recent events include a forceful eviction operation by the Lands Department, involving security guards and police, which led to confrontations with residents. Villagers express that their concerns remain unresolved. The current relevance lies in the displacement of long-term residents and the impact of large-scale development projects on established communities and heritage sites in Hong Kong.
