Tuen Mun District (屯門區) is located in the north-west of the New Territories, with a total land area of more than 8,400 hectares from Tai Lam Chung in the east to Lung Kwu Chau in the west, and from The Brothers in the south to Lam Tei in the north, is the oldest district in Hong Kong [1], and has experienced many changes over the years.
After Tsuen Wan and Sha Tin, Tuen Mun officially became a new town in 1973, but over the past years, it has suffered from the lagging development of transport infrastructure, and in the eyes of the residents of Hong Kong and Kowloon, it is just like a piece of countryside and wasteland; after decades of development, it has become a densely populated area in the northwest New Territories in Hong Kong.
History[]
Tuen Mun has a long history, as early as 6,000 years ago in the Neolithic Age, there were already human settlements [2], and has always been a hub for Chinese and foreign merchants and travellers, as well as for sea defence. According to ancient records, as far back as the middle of the Tang Dynasty, Tuen Mun already occupied an important position as a transport, trade and military base in southern China, where soldiers were stationed to defend the fields. With the Castle Peak Mountains to the west and the Tai Lam Foothills to the east, and a waterway running through the area, the two mountains look like "gates" to each other from a topographical point of view, hence the name "Tuen Mun", which means "Gate of Military Reinforcement" in Chinese. During the Ming Dynasty, a Tin Hau Temple was built on the western shore of Tuen Mun Bay at the foot of Castle Peak. The site of the temple was a major transport hub, and a bazaar was formed here for fishermen and traders, and more and more people came to settle in the area later.
Shortly after the British leased the New Territories in 1898, the construction of trunk roads linking important towns such as Tai Po, Yuen Long and Tuen Mun began, resulting in the flourishing of the new market in Tuen Mun, which gradually replaced the "old market". Formed in 1900, the "New Market" (San Hui) was located at the northern end of Tuen Mun Bay, not far from the Old Market, and was easily accessible via Castle Peak Road, which opened in 1919, attracting villagers from all over the world to come here to buy and sell.
Castle Peak New Town[]
In the early years of British administration of the New Territories, Tuen Mun, then known as Castle Peak, came under the administration of the Regional Administration. After the war, Yuen Long became a separate administrative district in 1947, with Yuen Long and Castle Peak under its jurisdiction, and in October 1957, Castle Peak was selected for development as a new town, with the first phase of the Castle Peak development proposed in September 1964, involving a mere 100 hectares of land for a population of 135,000.[3] The first step towards the development of the "Castle Peak New Town" was taken with the commencement of the first phase of the Castle Peak Bay Reclamation in San Hui in 1966, which created 89 hectares of land. The first public housing estate was built on the new reclaimed land in 1968, and was named Castle Peak Estate when it was completed in 1971, later renamed San Fat Estate.
The official opening of Castle Peak Hospital in 1961 was officiated by the Governor, Sir Robert Black. Since then, the name "Castle Peak" has become a synonym for mental illness, and calls for a change of name for the Castle Peak New Town have been further intensified. Following the proposal of the Castle Peak New Town Project Committee in April 1972 and the approval of the Works Bureau, the Director of Home Affairs of the New Territories, Mr Lai Tun-yee, declared in the Gazette on 19 January 1973 that Castle Peak would be replaced by "Tuen Mun" as the name of the new town[4]. 1974 saw the establishment of seven district offices under the New Territories Home Affairs Department, namely, Islands, Sai Kung, Tai Po, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan, Yuen Long, and Tuen Mun, and the latter was then detached from Yuen Long to form an independent district.
Tuen Mun New Town[]
Under the Ten-Year Housing Programme announced by Governor Murray MacLehose in October 1972, a number of public housing estates, including Tai Hing Estate, Sam Shing Estate, Yau Oi Estate and On Ting Estate, were completed in the following years. The opening of Tuen Mun Road Phase I in 1978 and the completion of Phase II in 1983 made travelling to and from the urban area more convenient.
In addition, the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (KCRC) announced in July 1984 the construction of a Light Rail Transit (LRT) linking Tuen Mun and Yuen Long to meet the transport needs of residents in the two areas. The LRT commenced operation on 18 September 1988 and was accompanied by a "Transit Service Area". As the LRT system is a long-term investment, the Government designated the LRT service area as a dedicated zone to enable the LRT to operate without competition, and at the same time phased out the local routes operated by the Kowloon Motor Bus (KMB). On the other hand, the Governor in Council, in accordance with the powers conferred by the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation Ordinance, restricted franchised bus operators from picking up or setting down passengers within their service areas, prohibited urban-bound routes from picking up or setting down passengers within the zones, and prohibited Tuen Mun- and Yuen Long-bound routes from picking up or setting down passengers within the zones. The Light Rail network was subsequently expanded with the opening of the Tuen Mun Northeast Extension in February 1992 and the Transit Service Area was only abolished in 2006.
The new town was planned as a "self-contained development" for the residents. The large industrial area in the middle of Tuen Mun attracted many famous companies such as Vitasoy, Playmates Toys and zipper manufacturer YKK, and it is also the location of the KMB Tuen Mun depot, the Bus Body Construction Depot, and the General Repair Centre, which provides comprehensive maintenance for the entire fleet of KMB buses; However, the employment opportunities could not meet the demand in the district, and with the subsequent relocation of factories to the north, many residents had to travel long distances to work outside the district. However, the serious traffic congestion on Tuen Mun Road since the 1990s had caused much suffering to the residents. In addition to widening part of the Kowloon-bound section of the road to four lanes, the Government took the unprecedented step of introducing bus-only lanes on the slow lane of the Tsuen Wan-bound section of Tuen Mun Road during the morning peak hours on Mondays to Saturdays from March 1995 onwards, which has benefited bus commuters travelling to the urban areas ever since.
With the rapid development of Tuen Mun New Town and the commissioning of the Kowloon-Canton Railway (now part of the Tuen Mun Line of the MTR) on 20 December 2003, the Transport Department (TD) implemented a number of bus service rationalisations thereafter. According to the 2006 Population By-census conducted by the Census and Statistics Department, the working population residing in Tuen Mun and having a fixed place of work in Hong Kong was 212,978, of which 154,186 (i.e. 72%) worked outside Tuen Mun. It is clear that the planning concept of a self-sufficient new town cannot be realised in Tuen Mun. [5]
With the commissioning of the Shenzhen Bay Port on 1 July 2007 and the opening of the Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Link (TM-CLKL) on 27 December 2020, it is convenient to travel between Macao and Zhuhai via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) and the external transport network of the Tuen Mun District has been improved.
To tie in with the commissioning of the TM-CLKL, the Transport Department (TD) has arranged to adjust the existing bus routes between Tuen Mun and North Lantau from Tuen Mun Road, Ting Kau Bridge and Lantau Link to TM-CLKL. The arrangement would shorten the travelling distance and time of the bus routes between the two districts and reduce the traffic flow on the expressway section of Tuen Mun Road and the TD would continue to closely monitor the operation of public transport services and make timely service adjustments in response to passenger demand, with a view to further improving the public transport services in the districts. [6]
Tuen Mun Area 54[]
Located in the north-western part of Tuen Mun, Area 54 is situated between Po Tin Estate and Siu Hong Court. A total of about 14.6 hectares of land would be formed under the development programme, including about 12.2 hectares of land for public housing development and 2.4 hectares of land for the development of Government, Institution or Community facilities, as well as construction of the associated infrastructural and road works. The entire development programme is divided into two phases by the Civil Engineering and Development Department (CEDD), with construction works commencing progressively from September 2011. In 2013, CEDD handed over the first formed site under Phase 2 Stage 1 to the Housing Department (HD) for housing construction, and the first completed public housing estate, Yan Tin Estate, has been occupied since early 2018.
The area mainly utilises Yan Po Road to link up Site 5, 3/4 (East), 4A (West), 4A (East) to the north of Po Tin Estate, and Yan Tin Estate. This four-lane road connects to Tsing Lun Road and leads to Lam Tei Interchange, and it is proposed to construct a public transport interchange, Yan Po Road Public Transport Interchange (PTI), outside Site 4A (West). [7]
In view of the additional passenger demand arising from the development of Tuen Mun Area 54, TD proposed in the 2019-2020 Bus Route Planning Programme to introduce one whole-day route between Area 54 and Tuen Mun Station and five new peak-hour bus routes between Area 54 and Sheung Shui (Tin Ping Estate)/Kowloon Station/Kwun Tong Ferry Pier/Wan Chai North/Sai Wan Ho (Tai On Street) respectively, which were awarded to Citybus after tendering. The first four of these routes have already commenced service in July 2022, followed by Route 950 to/from Exhibition Centre Station in September of the same year.
However, to tie in with the commissioning of the Tuen Mun Chek Lap Kok Tunnel Road in December 2020, LWB has substantially reorganised its airport bus routes in Tuen Mun, with the newly introduced Route A34 and the rerouted Route NA33 becoming the first two bus routes serving Area 54.

Street/road structure[]
Most of the streets and roads in Tuen Mun New Town were opened to traffic in the 1980s, and most of them run in both directions. Some streets in the industrial areas, or those adjacent to private housing estates or public housing estates, run in one direction only (e.g. Yau Oi Road, Tsing Hoi Circuit, Tseng Choi Street, etc.). Some streets were built between the late 1980s and the 1990s to improve traffic conditions in the area, such as Tsun Wen Road between Kin Sang Estate on Tsing Tin Road and Po Tin Estate on Ming Kum Road, Lam Tei Interchange, Wong Chu Road, Lung Fu Road, and so on.
The entire Tuen Mun New Town falls within the Light Rail Transit Service Area, and the LRT has priority on the roads, so other vehicles often have to give way to the LRT; in recent years, LRT trains sometimes have to stop and wait on the roads, and the situation of ordinary vehicles waiting has been improved.
The areas along the coast from Castle Peak Bay to Tai Lam Chung and from Lam Tei to Chung Uk Tsuen are mainly villages and low-density residential areas. Since the 1990s, a number of private housing estates and detached houses have been built one after another, with Castle Peak Road as the main arterial road. The area between Pillar Point and Lung Kwu Tan is dominated by power plants, logistics and other obnoxious industries, while Lung Kwu Tan is still inhabited by residents living in villages, with Lung Mun Road and Lung Kwu Tan Road serving as the main access roads.
