Five Great Clans of the New Territories

[1] Originated from Jishui of Jiangxi province, the Tangs were the first settled in the New Territories amongst the five clans, and were considered to be the first amongst all with the massive population and land.

[2] Two out of the five major branches remained in Hong Kong (Ping Shan and Kam Tin) while the other three moved back to mainland China.

During the Yuan dynasty, Liu Chung-kit (廖仲傑) moved to Tuen Mun and Futian until his eventual stay near Sheung Yue River.

[7] Majority of the Liu Clan still lived in Sheung Shui Wai, whilst some branches moved to Cheung Muk Tau and Ngau Pei Sha.

Hau Cheuk-fung (侯卓峰) later moved to Ho Sheung Heung,[10] with two sons relocating to Kam Tsin and other places.

Fanling Golf Course was built as a result of negotiation between the Hau Clan and the Hong Kong Government in 1908, which the former was compensated for the loss of ancestral land.
