Yuen Long Kau Hui
It is sited south of a small hill and directly north of Yuen Long MTR station.
The Coastal ban caused the evacuation of most of the population of present-day Hong Kong and lasted eight years in Yuen Long.
The same year, the market was moved north to the area now known as Yuen Long Kau Hui.
[6] The market was managed by the Kwong Yu Tong (光裕堂), a trust of a branch of the Tangs in Kam Tin.
It later became a multi-clan village inhabited by many Punti families surnamed Ng (吳), Lau (劉), Fan (樊), Tang, Cheng (鄭), Leung (梁), Wong (黃) and Lam.
The Lams settled in the village in 1626 coming from Xixiang (西鄉) of Baoan, Guangdong Province.
It was established in the 17th century by the members of several clans, the Chans (陳) being the major one, and others being the Loks (駱) and the Lis (李) from Dongguan.
It was established some 400 years ago by four clans: the Chan (陳), the Tang (鄧), the Tse (謝) and the Leung (梁).
It was at the bank of a branch of the Shan Pui River, where boats anchored for the market-goers to do trading at the market.
