Pik Uk (Traditional Chinese: 壁屋) is a small village in Sai Kung District, Kowloon, Hong Kong.

Location

Pik Uk is located on Clear Water Bay Road, roughly halfway between Ping Shek Estate and the Hang Hau Road roundabout, adjacent to Razor Hill, and not far from Tseng Lan Shue. The village is located to the east of Pik Uk Correctional Institution and Pik Uk Prison.

Layout

There are approximately 150 settlements in the village and vacant land that surround the village are regulated by the government. Although home ownership is allowed in the village, the village is regulated by the government in the same manner as the public building estates (like Choi Hung Estate), in which the building estates are only for rent. There are occasionally police that patrol the village.

Pik Uk is divided into New and Lower villages. The houses at Pik Uk New Village are older than the ones on the Lower. There is a 20-space parking lot roughly in between the New and Lower villages. There is also a rest area beside the parking lot with a roof on top, and a bulletin board beside the parking lot posting immediate news and information. The parking lot is connected by a road to Clear Water Bay Road, and a road that leads to the Lower village.
