Sheung Shui Slaughterhouse, Livestock processing facility in Sheung Shui, Hong Kong.
Sheung Shui Slaughterhouse is a livestock processing facility in North District with distinct zones for animal housing, processing operations, and meat distribution. The complex includes railway infrastructure designed for receiving animals from mainland China and managing outbound shipments.
The facility replaced older slaughterhouses from other parts of the city and began operations in the early 2000s. The site was built to modernize livestock processing and meet updated standards for food supply in the region.
The facility reflects Hong Kong's commitment to maintaining food supply infrastructure while considering environmental impact and modern processing standards.
The complex has limited visitor access since it is an active processing facility. It is best viewed from outside or nearby vantage points rather than entering the grounds.
The facility uses solar panels for water heating and captures waste heat from air conditioning systems to supplement its energy needs. This approach demonstrates efforts to reduce operating costs and environmental impact.
