Tin Shui Wai New Town is a satellite town in the north-western New Territories of Hong Kong, about 25 kilometres due northwest of Central, the main business area of the territory. The land was originally a gei wai, a traditional fish pond area, and was reclaimed from low-lying ground south of Deep Bay next to Ping Shan. It was developed in the 1980s as the second new town in Yuen Long District and the eighth new town in Hong Kong as a whole. The population was 283,595 as of 2021. Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China, so the town is recorded here as part of China, and it stands as a typical example of Hong Kong's planned new towns built on reclaimed wetland.
