History

Several villages were submerged as a consequence of the building of the High Island Reservoir in the 1970s. These included Lan Nai Wan Village (爛泥灣村) and Sha Tsui Village. In 1975, 57 households from Lan Nai Wan Village, Sha Tsui Village, together with several households returning from overseas moved into Sai Kung Town, where the government had built 10 five-storey buildings on reclaimed land to accommodate them. The relocated village was called Man Yee Wan.[1]
