context_page_description: Ta Kwu Ling is an area in the North District, New Territories, Hong Kong, located northeast of Sheung Shui, close to the border with mainland China.
  Ta Kwu Ling is one of three new development areas currently being planned for North District, in parallel with Fanling North and Kwu Tung North.
  Its name is frequently heard in weather reports, since it often experiences the highest and lowest daily temperatures in Hong Kong, due to its inland location. Temperatures near 0 °C occur once every few years, while daily minimum temperatures of 5 °C or less are not uncommon during winter.
  One of the three strategic landfills in use in Hong Kong is located in Ta Kwu Ling.
  Before 4 January 2016 parts of Ta Kwu Ling fell within the Frontier Closed Area and a Closed Area Permit was required.
