 Hong Kong boom belies wealth divide - CNN.com   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Rising up a decade ago from fish ponds and paddy fields a stone's throw from the Chinese border, Tin Shui Wai today is a sleepy community studded with monolithic 40-story public housing blocks filled with 270,000 residents -- many of them the city's poorest and newest immigrants.
Despite leafy surroundings and relatively new and spacious apartments, Tin Shui Wai has become known as a "social time bomb" given a dearth of local jobs, its remote location and high rates of poverty and domestic violence.
In a year that marks the 10th anniversary of Hong Kong's reversion to Chinese rule, Tin Shui Wai has become a rallying cry for disgruntled Hong Kongers who feel excluded by the financial services-led boom in Asia's top financial center behind Tokyo.

 Tin Shui Wai - The Hong Kong Brother
Tin Shui Wai is a relatively new residential community in the New Territories of Hong Kong.
It is located way up in the North-West corner of the Territory, and in fact it is so new and so unappealing that you will probably be pretty hard-pressed to even find it on any normal maps you will see.
A Government planning study completed in late 1996 predicted that the population for Yuen Long and Tin Shui Wai in 2011 will increase to 470,000 due to new housing developments in the northwestern New Territories.
