Fung Yuen is a recognized village under the New Territories Small House Policy.[2] For electoral purposes, it is part of the Hong Lok Yuen constituency of the Tai Po District Council. It was formerly represented by Zero Yiu Yeuk-sang, who was elected in the local elections until May 2021.[3][4]

There are five villages in Fung Yuen:

• Fung Mei Wai, formerly Kau Shi Wai (狗屎圍)

• Lau Hang (流坑)
• Mak Uk (麥屋; 'Mak's House')[1]

At the time of the 1911 census, the population of Fung Yuen was 133. The number of males was 60.[5]

Fung Yuen Valley has been listed as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) since 1980 to reflect "its importance as a major breeding site for butterflies". The protected area covers approximately 43 hectares.[6][7] Within this area, the Fung Yuen Butterfly Reserve was set up on 2 hectares of private land in 2005 by the Tai Po Environmental Association through the funding from the Environment and Conservation Fund.[6]
