Is Tai Wai a poverty-stricken area in Hong Kong?

Tai Wai is not a poor area in Hong Kong. Originally named "Jiwei", Tai Wai is a walled village in Hong Kong, which was built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (1574). It has the longest history and the largest scale in Shatian District. At present, it is located near Dawei Railway Station beside Chengmen River, at the junction of Jifu Street and Jifu Street. The gates and land within the fence are still the same. The harem at the bottom of the paddock is one of the most prosperous temples in Shatian District. The planning of the new town began in the early 1980s (Meilin Village was completed in 198 1 year), and the development was concentrated on both sides of the valley. The downtown area north of the railway station is mixed with two or three-story village houses, five or six-story Tang buildings and ten or twenty-story houses built in the past twenty years. There are many large public housing estates in the periphery, including Meilin and Meitian in the north, and Cui Xin, Xintianwei, Qinshi and Jing Xian in the south. In recent years, other private housing estates have been built between public housing estates.
