Facts

1. Tin Shui Wai = Tin Shui Wai New Town. The whole area of Tin Shui Wai is developed as the New Town. 2. The whole of Fish Pond in Tin Shui Wai is now a part of the New Town. 3. People refer the New Town as Tin Shui Wai. 4. Unlike Tsuen Wan New Town, consisted of Tsuen Wan, Tsing Yi and Kwai Chung, Tin Shui Wai New Town is only consisted of Tin Shui Wai. 5. Tin Shui Wai is still a part of Yuen Long (District). The Yuen Long District/Yuen Long articles, already covers relevant histroical information.

Therefore, I will combine the article Tin Shui Wai and Tin Shui Wai New Town into one article. Thanks for the attention!

Due to this overlap, I have merged the two articles. Citobun (talk) 09:28, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Should the history section of this article be expanded to cover the namesake village and gei wai ponds before new town development? "Tin Shui Wai" was marked in some older maps before new town development in the late 1980s and early 1990s, in reference to the village and the ponds around them. There's probably sufficient materials to support separate articles as the Cantonese and Chinese versions suggest but that takes time for editors here to work on. 219.76.24.208 (talk) 09:20, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes if you made a well cited article under the article title Tin Shui Wai (village), or may be Tin Shui Wai (indigenous village). Matthew hk (talk) 12:52, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. But that didn't seem to be a village of the indigenous inhabited of the New Territories. And before an article is ready the history section of this existing article should be expanded. 219.76.24.207 (talk) 08:05, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The paragraph about the light rail connections to Luen Long and Tuen muen districts does not make complete sense. Tin Shui Wai is in Luen Long district, so I assume that it should refer to the connection to Leun Long Town, rather than district? Lkingscott (talk) 14:25, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
