Ma Niu Village (Chinese: 馬料村), sometimes spelled Ma Liu, is a village on Kau To Shan, near Fo Tan, Sha Tin District, Hong Kong.

Administration

Ma Niu is a recognized village under the New Territories Small House Policy.[1]

History

The village historically shared a single higher earthgod shrine with Cheung Lek Mei, Kau To and Ma Liu Shui. All were part of the Fo Tan Yeuk (火炭約).[2]

In the early 20th century, the villagers of Ma Niu generated a large part of their income from selling fuel cut from the extensive woods which were to be found near the village.[2]
