Luen Wo Hui was formerly a market founded by villages in the surrounding area and later became a town. The old market has now ceased to operate and only a few structures are left. A new indoor market to replace the pre-existing market was officially opened in 2002.[3]
New private housing estates have in the last 10 years been built north of the market. Across Sha Tau Kok Road are industrial buildings.
