Five Great Clans of the New Territories
The Five Great Clans of the New Territories refer to five families that settled early and became sizeable in the new Territories of Hong Kong.
They are the Tang, the Man, Hau, Pang and Liu.
The Hau Clan arrived in modern-day Hong Kong towards the end of the 12th century, during the Southern Song Dynasty. They first settled at Ho Sheung Heung. They later settled three branch-villages: Yin Kong, Kam Tsin and Ping Kong.
