Shek O
Shek O Village () has a history of some 200 years. It was established by fishermen of the Chan, Yip, Li and Lau clans and was once famous for its lobster. The majority of the population previously lived on the land presently occupied by the Shek O country Club, from where it was forcibly removed. In 1841, Shek O Village as a whole, together with Hok Tsui Village () and Tai Long Wan Village (), had a population of around 200. The Tin Hau Temple in Shek O Village was built in 1891. It is a Grade III historic building and its management has been delegated by the Chinese Temples Committee to the Shek O Residents Association. The memorial archway near the main entrance road to the town is inscribed with the calligraphy of R.C. Lee () (1905-1983). The Modernist Shek O Bus Terminus building next door was constructed in 1955 and designed by Hsin Yieh Architects, founded by Chinese architect Su Gin Djih (). However, the earliest bus service to Shek O dates back to the 1920s, when the Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotels Limited operated a bus route between the Hong Kong Hotel and Big Wave Bay in Shek O.
