Tsat Tsz Mui

Tsat Tsz Mui (Chinese: 七姊妹) is an area in the east portion of North Point, near Quarry Bay, Hong Kong. It is around the Tsat Tsz Mui Road. It was formerly a village.

Name

Tsat Tsz Mui in Chinese means seven sisters. There was a tragedy story about them. Once upon a time, there lived a village of Hakka people. Seven girl playmates pledged to be sisters in their lifetime, die on the same day and never get married. One day, the third sister's parents decided to make her marry a man. She does not want to but dares not say a word against her parents. In the day before the wedding, the seven sister committed suicide at the sea shore. The next day, at the bay appeared seven rocks. The villages believed that they must be the seven sisters. The rocks were then named Tsat Tsz Mui Shek (七姊妹石), Seven Sister Rocks, and the village Tsat Tsz Mui Tsuen (七姊妹村), Seven Sister Village.

In 1934, the rocks are buried under the reclamation for urban development.

History

Tsat Tsz Mui Village existed for hundreds of years. According to the census in 1849, Tsat Tsz Mui Tsuen had over two hundred habitants and over one hundred houses. It was also a popular swimming spot.
