Tin Shui Wai was basically me first exposure to HK, I stayed there with a friend and his family in 1998, my first time outside the US. For an American, to see this 'suburb' was absolutely staggering. IIRC, Tin Shui Wai has sort of two sides to it, the public housing side, and the more private Kingswood Villas (there's a name for the whole development but I forget what it is). My friend lived on the private side. The fact that 25 miles out it had express busses to Central and good lite rail connections to Tuen Mun and Yuen Long (connecting to KCR and other systems) was amazing to me.
BTW, the view of Shenzen from the upper floors of those buildings is fantastic.
