Sau Mau Ping

Sau Mau Ping

Sau Mau Ping (秀茂坪, Jyutping: Sau3 Mau6 Ping4, Pinyin: Xiùmàopíng) is an area in eastern New Kowloon, Hong Kong.

Its Chinese name was formerly So Mau Ping (蘇茅坪), but this was often mis-rendered So Mo Ping (掃墓坪), meaning a place to 'visit one's ancestors'. In fact, during World War II, much of the area was used as a cemetery. The Chinese name was considered inappropriate for a residential area and so it was changed to the current one, meaning "nice and prosperous".

Sau Mau Ping is one of early Kwun Tong new town in Hong Kong. Sau Mau Ping Estate is a major public housing estate in the area.
