Tiu Keng Leng (Chinese: 調景嶺), formerly[citation needed] Rennie's Mill, is an area of Hong Kong in the Sai Kung District adjacent to Tseung Kwan O (Junk Bay).
The area used to be a refugee village housing former Kuomintang officials and followers who escaped to Hong Kong from mainland China after the establishment of the People's Republic of China (PRC); however, the original Tiu Keng Leng village was cleared before Hong Kong's sovereignty transfer to the PRC in 1997, and nowadays Tiu Keng Leng is thoroughly redeveloped as part of the Tseung Kwan O New Town.
