About Tang Ancestral Hall, Ha Tsuen
Built in 1749–50 by the Tang clan of Ha Tsuen to honour their two founding ancestors, this is one of the few surviving local examples of a Qing vernacular hall with three halls and two courtyards. Honorary plaques in the middle hall record the clan's standing under the Qing. The compound also includes a guesthouse and Yau Kung School, and the hall is still used for the clan's religious and ceremonial events; it was fully restored in 2011.
