Neighbourhood Features
Fanling is located in the eastern part of the New Territories and is one of the new town developments. The town center has gradually transformed into residential areas, while the remote outskirts still retain numerous farmlands. Being one of the earliest places with a train station, Fanling is the central area in the northern New Territories. With the development of Luen Wo Hui, the district has seen the addition of various community facilities, including Luen Wo Hui Sports Centre, public libraries, and a variety of eateries and shops to meet residents' basic needs. The government is planning to develop the northeast of Fanling into a new development area, creating a riverside town. Additionally, to address the housing demand resulting from population growth, the government plans to reclaim the Fanling Golf Course for the construction of public housing.
Fanling is a gathering place for various religious institutions, creating a strong religious atmosphere in the area.
