History

The Cheungs, previously established in Kuk Po, moved to Fung Hang in 1671, shortly after the end of the Great Clearance. They were farmers engaged in fishing and later concentrated in rice and vegetables growing. Most of the villagers have moved overseas or to other areas of Hong Kong.

Built heritage

The Cheung Ancestral Hall in Fung Hang was probably built before the 20th century. It was renovated in 1975.
