Courtyard of Tang Ancestral Hall, Ha Tsuen, Yuen Long

Construction of the Tang Ancestral Hall (alias Yau Kung Tong) began in the "jisi" year of the Qianlong reign (1749) and was completed in the "gengwu" year of the Qianlong reign (1750). The ancestral hall came into use in 1751. The Tang Ancestral Hall underwent two major renovations in the 17th year of the Daoguang reign (1837) and the ninth year of the Guangxu reign(1883) respectively. Most of the historic building fabric and relics are still preserved in the hall.
