Did the Tang Clan foresee prosperity when they named their village Ying Lung Wai? Ying Lung Wai, meaning “Prosperous Dragon Enclosure,” sits nestled in the Yuen Long Kau Hui area of Hong Kong. It whispers tales of resilience and adaptation, echoing back to the Ming dynasty. Ying Lung Wai wasn’t the Tang Clan’s first attempt at settling in this region. They initially established Sai Pin Wai and Nam Pin Wai. However, the pull of feng shui led them to relocate, seeking a more auspicious location for their village. This move, driven by the belief in harmonizing with the environment, speaks volumes about the cultural significance of feng shui in shaping the landscape and history of Hong Kong. In 1911, Ying Lung Wai was a bustling community of 94 inhabitants, with 38 men contributing to the village’s growth. Ying Lung Wai was more than just a village; it was a member of the Tung Tau alliance, also known as the “Joint Meeting Group of Seven Villages”. This alliance, which included Nam Pin Wai, Tung Tau Tsuen, Choi Uk Tsuen, Shan Pui Tsuen, Wong Uk Tsuen, and Tai Wai Tsuen, provided a framework for cooperation and mutual support among neighboring villages. The Yi Shing Temple in Wong Uk Tsuen served as a central point for the alliance, further strengthening the bonds between these communities. Ying Lung Wai stands as a testament to the Tang Clan’s enduring legacy. Their pursuit of prosperity, guided by the principles of feng shui, shaped not only their village but also the broader tapestry of Hong Kong’s history. The village’s story is a reminder of the power of belief and the importance of community in shaping our world.
