The Governor, The Rt Hon Christopher Patten, visit Sha Tin this (Wednesday) afternoon to have an update on the latest developments in the district.

He was accompanied by the Director of Home Affairs, Mrs Shelley Lau, and Sha Tin District Officer, Miss Wong Mei-lin.

Mr Patten and his party first toured on Tsang Tai Uk, located near the southem end of Pok Hong Estate. He was briefed on the history of the fortified compound which was built in 1848 with three rows of houses forming a rectangle.

The party then proceeded to Fung Yiu King Memorial Secondary School in Ma On Shan new town where they watched students participating in extra-curricular activities after school and met district board members and local community leaders at a reception.

The Governor also unveiled a plaque for a nature corner at the school.

After leaving the school, Mr Patten called on the Cheshire Home which offers accommodation and nursing care to convalescent patients and those who require a long recovery period. He chatted with the patients and inspected the facilities and services there.

Mr Patten concluded his visit at the Sha Tin Hospital which has been providing integrated geriatric services, mental and physical rehabilitation, hospices and infirmary services to patients since 1991 when it was known as the Sha Tin Infirmary and Convalescent Hospital.
