The village is based along the coastline of the New Territories district of Hong Kong and has a small beach. The area to which Sha Lan Tsuen belongs, Shuen Wan (船灣), due to being in the rural and having beautiful coastline scenery, has attracted many wealthy Estate Companies to build luxury flats that spans right across the whole area. One such projects is "The Beverly Hills" estate owned by the Henderson Land Development Group. The luxury flats boast a magnificent scenery and costs more than HK$10,000,000.
