Tin Shui Wai 天水圍, Hong Kong

This place has been quite controversial over the past and it's said to be a city of sadness because of the several family tragedies happening. A song also composed as "Sky Water restraining the town (天水圍城) to further negatively dramatize such sadness of family tragedies and condemn this town to be a town of nowhere to go and no hope to take on. I really find it irrational and unfair to the people living in this area. Today I went to have a look at this town and took some photos to reflect what I feel. Spacious living area and comprehensive traffic infrastructure, lots of green - what more do you ask for?

1/2. The living environment is pretty nice as you can see there are even more space among each building.
3. There are some bicycle lanes around the town. I would love to have a bicycle ride on such a sunny day even though it's not for work. 4. I saw some big green trees at every corner around the buildings. The green will make people happy and eye-relaxing. According to some doctors, get your eyes seeing some green is good the eyes.
5/6. there are quite a number of schools in the town. Also the traffic connection is very convenient except the bus fare is a bit expensive - $22 for going to Causeway Bay.
7/8. There are garden and water ponds inside the housing estate.
9. On the bus ride, I took a photo of Ting Kau 汀九. I used to come here for visiting one of my friends - the house on the 3rd one from left close to the shore. 10. another view to Tsuen Wan West.

Actually the name Tin Shui Wai is quite nice in Chinese.
