 During early British rule of New Kowloon, Shatin Pass Road was a road from a point from Kai Tak Airport to Shatin Pass in the north ridge via villages of Po Kong and Chuk Yuen.A forest of bamboo surrounded the village, and the village's name is derived therefrom - Chuk Yuen means "bamboo garden" in Chinese language.A river from the range north ran by the village west emptying into Kowloon Bay via Po Kong.
