崇謙堂村原地名松冚塘,位於香港新界粉嶺,1903年由退休的客籍巴色差會傳教士凌啟蓮牧師創立,是一個客家基督徒社區,是罕有有教堂無祠堂的新界圍村。

Most of the mailboxes in walled villages in the New Territories are concentrated at the entrance of the village to facilitate the delivery of letters by postmen.  Old mailboxes in Shung Him Tong Village, Fanling, are dilapidated, new mailboxes have been built beside the church.

Shung Him Tong Village, originally named Chung Ham Tong, is located in Fanling, New Territories, Hong Kong. It was founded in 1903 by Pastor Ling Kai-lin, a retired Hakka Basel missionary. It is a Hakka Christian community and a rare walled village in the New Territories with a church and no ancestral hall.
