            Geographical Context




            The North District, including the Fanling/
            Sheung Shui New Town, covers an area
            of about 16 800 hectares (ha).  Fanling/
            Sheung  Shui  New  Town, being  the
            northern-most new town in Hong Kong,
            lies about 4 kilometres (km) from Shenzhen
            Special Economic Zone, about 8 km from
            Tai Po and about 21 km from Sha Tin.
            Fanling/Sheung Shui New Town (Figures 1
            to 3), covering an area of about 667 ha, is
            one of the second generation New Towns
            in Hong Kong.  Unlike other new towns
            which have incorporated extensive areas
            reclaimed from the sea, Fanling/Sheung
            Shui New Town occupies an entirely
            inland area along the river plains of the Ng
            Tung River, Shek Sheung River, Sheung
            Yue River and Ma Wat River.  Based on
            Hong Kong 2021 Population Census, the
            population of Fanling/Sheung Shui New       Figure 1: Approved Fanling/Sheung Shui Outline Zoning Plan No. S/FSS/26
            Town was estimated as about 247 900.
