People
Before the 1970s, immigrants from Guangdong Province of China migrated to Hong Kong. Many of the Hakka people moved to Tai Po Town, Fanling Town and Sheung Shui Town. In Tai Po Town, there is a noticeable large population of Hakka people in Tai Po Market (大埔墟), especially around the area of "Little Park" (公園仔). However there are a lot of people from Guangdong Province, especially from the Guangzhou area and many small villages that are scattered around along Guangdong. Most claim to be from the Han ethnic group, the largest Chinese ethnic group out of the other 55. There may be other South Asian races, but they are rare.
