Tung Tau Tsuen is a recognized village under the New Territories Small House Policy.[2]
History edit
During the Hungwu reign of the Ming Dynasty, two members of Tang clans in Kam Tin left for Ha Tsuen as they saw the potentials of this place as markets and places of producing fish and salt. These two members of Tang clans, Tang Hung Wai and Tang Hung Chih, built two villages there.[3] The two villages are Tseung Kong Wai (祥降圍, formerly Sai Tau Lei) and Tung Tau Tsuen (formerly Tung Tau Lei).[1]
