History

Several villages of the Lam Tei area were established by the To (陶) Clan. Originally from Poyang, Jiangxi[1] (other sources mention Watlam in Guangxi),[2] the To Clan moved to Ngau Tam Mei and then to Tuen Mun Tai Tsuen. Following the increase of the clan population, the village dispersed and developed into five villages in the Lam Tei area: Nai Wai, Tsing Chuen Wai, Tuen Tsz Wai, Lam Tei Tsuen and Tuen Mun San Tsuen, which were all fortified.[2]
