Welcome to this web page of the Yuen Long District Office. Here you will find information on the organisation structure of this office and the major community events in Yuen Long.

Yuen Long is a pluralistic community encompassing urban and rural areas, modern-day and traditional features, as well as Chinese and ethnic minorities' cultures. Rural villages of rich heritage exist in harmony with the ever developing Yuen Long and Tin Shui Wai new towns. Members of the heterogeneous community of Yuen Long include indigenous villagers, residents moved in from other districts, new arrivals from the Mainland and ethnic minorities. We appreciate that residents with diverse backgrounds may have different needs and aspirations, and always welcome views from them on community affairs. We hope to draw on collective wisdom and useful ideas that would help government departments deliver public services and implement projects in line with the "always people first" principle of governance.

The Yuen Long District Office have always been standing by the residents of Yuen Long in facing the challenges and opportunities for our district. We will continue to reflect local concerns to other government departments and work closely with other departments in addressing district issues. In addition, mobilizing social capital, enhancing cross-sectoral collaboration and promoting the culture of neighbourhood mutual care have been our on-going commitments in recent years. We aspire for partnership between various sectors and the Government developing as the capital for community building in Yuen Long. Institutions or individuals who wish to make contributions to our community are welcome to explore with us ways of giving full play to the synergy effect of cross-sectoral collaboration to drive the sustainable development of Yuen Long.

Yuen Long is situated in the northwest of the New Territories on a large alluvial plain. The district covers an area of 14,430 hectares including Ping Shan Heung, Ha Tsuen Heung, Kam Tin Heung, Pat Heung, San Tin Heung, Shap Pat Heung, Yuen Long town and Tin Shui Wai new town. It has a population of about 540,000, among which around 140,000 people are living in Yuen Long town, 130,000 in the six heungs and 270,000 in Tin Shui Wai.

The earliest significant settlements in Yuen Long can be traced back to the Sung Dynasty. Benefiting from its long history, the district is rich in antiquities and monuments. Many traditional ceremonies and rituals are still observed by the people of Yuen Long. With the development and population growth of Yuen Long town and Tin Shui Wai new town in recent years, the district has transformed into a place of diversity, blending the rural and the urban, the old and the new.

Home to Mai Po Nature Reserve and the Hong Kong Wetland Park, Yuen Long is also renowned for its natural scenery and internationally important ecological sites.
