Despite its proximity to the neighbouring areas administered by Sha Tin and Sai Kung districts, Nai Chung is actually administered by Tai Po District. It is covered by the Sai Kung North constituency of the Tai Po District Council, which is currently represented by Ben Tam Yi-pui.[1][2] Nai Chung is a recognized village under the New Territories Small House Policy.[3]

Features

It contains barbecue sites, which are popular destinations of school picnics, and some restaurants that serve Thai and Indian food.[citation needed]
