In earlier times Kwai Chung was called Kwai Chung Tsai (葵涌子). Kwai Chung was a stream (Chung) that emptied into Gin Drinkers Bay (葵涌澳). The whole bay was reclaimed for land and the stream is no longer visible.[clarification needed]
Sheung Kwai Chung, Chung Kwai Chung Village (中葵涌村) and Ha Kwai Chung Village (下葵涌村) are recognized villages under the New TerritoriesSmall House Policy.[1]
Economy
Kwai Chung is the home of the principal commercial cargo handling area of Hong Kong, the Kwai Chung Container Terminal, one of the largest and busiest port facilities in the world. The main commercial port was relocated here from Yau Ma Tei in the 1980s, in preparation for the West Kowloon Reclamation, which has left the original waterfront of Yau Ma Tei almost half a mile inland.[citation needed]
Sheung Kwai Chung and Chung Kwai Chung (Upper and Central Kwai Chung) are in Primary One Admission (POA) School Net 64, which includes multiple aided schools (schools operated independently of the government but funded with government money); none of the schools in the net are government schools.[3]
