My advice to anyone is this: If you're not parking on your land and you're not paying, expect to get a ticket someday, that even goes for people parked on government land in villages depending on the courage of the wardens - in Tuen Mun/Yuen Long they are often chaperoned by teams of police and they tend to target an area for a week or so and then move on..
