Tsang Tsui Columbarium, Public columbarium and cinerarium in Tuen Mun District, Hong Kong

Tsang Tsui Columbarium is a public columbarium on 3 hectares of reclaimed land at 15 Nim Wan Road, Tuen Mun, built on the former China Light & Power ash lagoon. Its 8-storey columbarium block holds 160,000 niches, with floors 5 to 7 reserved for incense-free niches and a sky garden on the top floor. The facade has curved and rectilinear blocks with bands of recessed bays; the memorial garden with a monument wall lies within the grounds.

The Food and Health Bureau proposed building the columbarium on the former China Light and Power ash lagoon (Middle Lagoon) at Tsang Tsui, where about one metre of fill was laid over the 3-hectare site. Works began in the first quarter of 2016 and were completed at the end of 2018; the memorial garden followed in early 2019. The East Wing opened on 15 May 2020, and the whole facility was commissioned on 1 March 2021.

The memorial garden is the largest under the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, and ashes can be scattered there free of charge, either by families themselves or by department staff. A memorial wall holds plaques, and farewell ceremonies may be held in the garden. The columbarium also holds niches for the ashes of public figures such as radio host Ngan King and activist Lee Sze-yin.

Vehicle access should be booked ahead through the online system, as parking is limited and reservations can be made one to two weeks in advance. Planning your visit timing helps avoid busy periods.

The columbarium stands on the former China Light & Power ash lagoon (Middle Lagoon) at Tsang Tsui, making it Hong Kong's only columbarium built on reclaimed land; a one-metre-deep fill was laid over the 3-hectare site before construction. Its memorial garden is the largest under the FEHD, and ash scattering there is free of charge.
