Tsui Mun Leng. A silent sentinel overlooking the Tuen Mun landscape. Neolithic whispers echo from nearby shores. Tsui Mun Leng stands watch. Let’s journey back to a time long before the skyscrapers of Hong Kong pierced the sky. A time when the ancestors of this land, during the Middle Neolithic period, walked the shores of Lung Kwu Chau, Lung Kwu Tan, and Yung Long. These areas are near Tsui Mun Leng. They left behind traces of their existence. Painted pottery, ring-foot basins, and stone tools whisper tales of a life intertwined with the sea. These artifacts date as far back as 4000 BC. They share similarities with finds in other regions of the Pearl River Delta, hinting at a shared culture and perhaps trade. Later, in the Late Neolithic period, further evidence of human activity emerged around Tsui Mun Leng. Postholes in Lung Kwu Tan suggest the presence of pile dwellings. Hearths and workshops for crafting stone tools were discovered in Yung Long. Burial sites offer glimpses into their rituals and beliefs. The presence of fine slotted stone rings and stone yue axes (ceremonial axes symbolizing power) suggests possible trade and exchange within the Pearl River Delta. Tsui Mun Leng watched silently as these early inhabitants lived, worked, and built their lives. Imagine them crafting tools, fishing in the waters, and performing ceremonies under the same sky that we see today. Tsui Mun Leng, a timeless witness to the unfolding story of human endeavor.
