Lok Lo Ha (Chinese: 落路下; lit. 'falling down from the road')[1] is a village and valley northeast of Wo Liu Hang in Fo Tan, Sha Tin District, Hong Kong.
Administration
Lok Lo Ha is a recognized village under the New Territories Small House Policy.[2]
History
Lok Lo Ha was historically a sea-shore village. A stone pier for the sampan ferry to Yuen Chau Kok was built at Lok Lo Ha in 1917.[1]
In 2018, a KMB bus on route 872 passed by this stop, overturning a few stops later, killing 19. It has been noted that the name of the village literally means “falling down from the road”, which coincidentally describes the bus accident.
