Kun Lung Wai is one of the walled village of Lung Yeuk Tau (龍躍頭), located in northeast of Luen Wo Hui in Fanling.
Lung Yeuk Tau is a Heritage Trail officially opened to the public on 4 December 1999, and here you can discover the history of Tang Clan, which is one of the “Five Great Clans” of the New Territories.
Kun Lung Wai (also known as San Wai) got its name from the characters "Kun Lung" engraved on the lintel of the entrance. The walled village, which dates back to 1744, is enclosed by green-brick walls.
Four watchtowers were constructed at the four corners of the enclosing walls. A pair of chained-ring iron gates were installed at the front entrance. The moat, originally surrounded the walled vilage, has been filled up. Most of the old houses inside the walled village have been replaced by new buildings.
The tower over the gate, and the walls with the watchtowers were declared monuments in 1988 and 1993 respectively.
How to get there: Take 56C minibus, or just have a walk from Fanling Station.
