It was one of major accesses from Kowloon south to Sha Tin north before the construction roads and railway. The British Army built a road, Shatin Pass Road from Kowloon to the pass and some village in Sha Tin District but not to the town of Sha Tin.
Stage 4 of Wilson Trail and Stage 5 of MacLehose Trail split at the pass. Sheng Kung Hui has a site of Diocesan Youth Retreat House at the pass.
