Muk Wu Village (Chinese: 木湖村) is a Punti walled village in Ta Kwu Ling, in the north of the New Territories across the Man Kam To border crossing point in Hong Kong. Before January 4, 2016, it was inaccessible to non-permit holders (see Closed Area Permit). These were obtained in Fanling, Sheung Shui Closed Area Permit police station. As the name suggests, originally the village had fertile land with trees and streams derived from the Chinese characters: "wood" (木); "lake" (湖). This name derived from the location on the northern periphery right next to the border fence; the Shenzhen River is only a few feet away.
