Shaw Studios/Shaw Villa/TV City (TVB)
The Clearwater Bay studio site at Clearwater Bay Road and Ngan Ying Road is the former home of Shaw Brothers studios (built 1960-1961), as well as vacated TVB Headquarters and studios (1986–2003 and now at TVB City) and Celestial Pictures. There are also apartment blocks formerly used to house actors of Shaw. The newer Shaw House and Shaw Villa are also located here. The site has been vacant since 2003 and will likely be re-developed with no new tenants targeted.
The older Shaw House has been used for various TVB series shoots as a hospital.

Famous quotes containing the words shaw and/or city:
“It was the most ungrateful and unjust act ever perpetrated by a republic upon a class of citizens who had worked and sacrificed and suffered as did the women of this nation in the struggle of the Civil War only to be rewarded at its close by such unspeakable degradation as to be reduced to the plane of subjects to enfranchised slaves.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
“A ‘spasm band’ is a miscellaneous collection of a soap box, tin cans, pan tops, nails, drumsticks, and little Negro boys. When mixed in the proper proportions this results in the wildest shuffle dancing, accompanied by a bumping rhythm.”
—For the City of New Orleans, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
