Lei Yu Mun Village
Strictly speaking Lei Yu Mun is the name of the channel,
and of the district next to the channel. The village
itself is a combination of four squatter villages which are today some of
the rare examples still left of this style of rural living.
Although officially illegal and temporary structures the
buildings are licensed and tolerated by the government in
recognition of their historic and cultural value as well as
their necessarily to providing housing for the local
community which does not wish to be relocated to government
housing.

The first village you reach when you visit Lei Yu Mun is
Sam Ka Tsuen, which is where
the harbour, typhoon shelter and the main restaurants are
located.
Walking past the main street of restaurants and fish
stalls and then past the Lei Yue Mun recreation ground
takes you to the next village of Ma Wan Tsuen which
is where more people live. Walking all the way
through the Ma Wan village takes you to the
Tin Hau Temple.
Finally inland where visitors do not go is Che Teng
Village.
