Yuen Long

The population in Yuen Long Town stood at 130 000 at the end of the
year and is expected to grow to 150 000 early in the next decade.

Development is spreading to the Tuen Mun-Yuen Long Corridor. The
rural area is being rejuvenated and new infrastructure provided. The
construction of new infrastructure at Hung Shui Kiu and Ping Shan areas
is planned to be implemented in stages commencing in mid-1998 for
completion in 2003.

Yuen Long development will be extended southward covering an area of
about 12 hectares of land mainly for public housing development. Site
formation and infrastructure works will be implemented in phases
commencing in early 1999 for completion by 2002.
