Tsing Lung Tau (Chinese: 青龍頭; lit. 'Head of the green dragon') is a coastal residential area in the southwest coast of the New Territories in Hong Kong.
Geography
Tsing Lung Tau is located on the southwest coast of the New Territories in Hong Kong, between Sham Tseng and Tai Lam; west from Tsuen Wan and east of Tuen Mun. Tsing Lung Tau is west of the adjoining area of Sham Tseng, which is slightly larger. The coast of Tsing Lung Tau once was a stretch of long beaches with one named Dragon Beach (青龍灣) and some small farmlands, however, it was reclaimed by the HKSAR Government for the widening of the Castle Peak Road in 2006.
Housing
There are three villages in Tsing Lung Tau: Tsing Lung Tau Village (青龍頭村), Tsing Lung Tau New Village (青龍頭新村) and Yuen Tun Village (圓墩村), with many villa-style developments.
The main private housing estates of the area are:
- Hong Kong Garden. 28 blocks, completed between 1986 and 2010.
- Sea Crest Villa Phase 5
- Lung Tang Court (龍騰閣). Located at 88-90 Castle Peak Road, it was completed in 1982.
Tsing Lung Tau is a recognized village under the New Territories Small House Policy.
