Tsing Yi Rural Committee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tsing Yi Rural Committee (Chinese: 青衣鄉事委員會) is a rural committee dealing with matters of the villages on the Tsing Yi Island in Hong Kong. Its office is on the Fung Shue Wo Road, near Chun Kwan Temple. In the early days, the rural committee only served the indigenous inhabitants.[citation needed] Before the development of new town, there are several times of influx of population. In later days, it also served the non-indigenous inhabitants.
