For electoral purposes, Luen Wo Hui is part of the Luen Wo Hui constituency of the North District Council. It is currently represented by Chow Kam-ho, who was elected in the local elections.[1][2][needs update]
Luen Wo Hui was formerly a market founded by villages in the surrounding area and later became a town. The old market has now ceased to operate and only a few structures are left. A new indoor market to replace the pre-existing market was officially opened in 2002.[3]
New private housing estates have in the last 10 years been built north of the market. Across Sha Tau Kok Road are industrial buildings.
Luen Wo Market building is listed as a Grade III historic building.[4] Built in 1951, it was part of Batch V of the Revitalising Historic Buildings Through Partnership Scheme.[5]
