Yuen Chau Kok (Chinese: 圓洲角) is an area in Sha Tin, New Territories, Hong Kong, near Sha Tin Road and Prince of Wales Hospital. The area was an island in Tide Cove, and is within walking distance from City One Station of the MTR Ma On Shan Line.
The island was a major station for travellers and goods plying between Guangdong and Kowloon. There was a village called "Wong Uk Village" (Chinese: 王屋村) inside, which was a trading station for merchants and travellers until the late 19th century. However, most of the old buildings of the village were ruined or demolished due to the reclamation of Tide Cove for the development of the Sha Tin New Town.[1]
