Fung Mei Wai (鳯美圍), formerly Kau Shi Wai　(狗屎圍, literally dog shit walled (village)), is a village in Fung Yuen, Tai Po, Hong Kong.

Name change

In 2013, the Lands Department’s Geographical Place Names Board recommended changing the name of the village.

The proposal followed a letter from a Tai Po Fung Yuen village representative, who complained that Kau Shi Wai (狗屎圍) was indecent and could cause embarrassment. ^[1]

The Tai Po District Council voted in favour of the name change by 10 votes to 0, with 5 abstentions.^[2] The new name, Fung Mei Wai (鳯美圍), was officially adopted in January 2014.

Signposts and The Lands Department’s [https://www.map.gov.hk/gm/geo:22.4607,114.1776?z=2257 GeoInfo Map] were subsequently updated to reflect the change.
