Fanling Wai 粉岭围 : It is a village built by the Pang Clan 彭族 and the wai (walled village) was constructed in the early part of the Wanli 万历 (1572-1620) reign of the Ming dynasty. It is composed of a walled village and its two extensions: Ching Wai (正围) or Chung Wai (中围) – the only walked hamlet of Fanling Wai and also the first hamlet to be built, Pak Wai (北围; 'north hamlet'), and Nam Wai (南围; 'south hamlet').
Lung Yeuk Tau Heritage Trail 龙跃头文物径: The Tangs of Lung Yeuk Tau originated from Jishui in Jiangxi province. They enjoyed the strongest claim to royal lineage among their fellow clansmen, as they trace their descent back to the eldest son of a princess of the Song dynasty (960 - 1279). When the princess took refuge in the south in the early Southern Song dynasty (1127 - 1279), she was married to Tang Wai-kap 邓惟汲 of Kam Tin. The descendants of the eldest son moved to Lung Yeuk Tau at the end of the Yuan dynasty (1279 - 1368). As the clan prospered, it branched out to the neighboring area and established the present-day “Five Wais and Six Tsuens 五围六村” within a few hundred years. Many traditional Chinese buildings and structures have been preserved in their original state, thus demonstrating the history and life of early inhabitants in the New Territories.
The Tangs of the area still practice traditional village customs, including communal worship in spring and autumn and celebrating the Tin Hau Festival. Additionally, a lantern-lighting ceremony is held for newborn boys on the 15th day of the first lunar month, and an ancestral worship ceremony and vegetarian feast is held on the first day of the second lunar month.
