Shap Pat Heung is an area in the New Territories of Hong Kong.[1] Located south of Yuen Long and northeast of Tai Tong, the area occupies the plain north of hills of Tai Lam. The Cantonese name 'Shap Pat Heung' means 'eighteen villages'[2] at its beginning. It was later expanded to thirty villages. Administratively, it is part of the Yuen Long District.
The area is famous for the celebration of Tin Hau Festival on the 23rd day of the 3rd month every year of Chinese calendar. Parade and Fa Pao attracts many visitors and pilgrims from other villages and towns.
