Sam Ka Tsuen (LEI YUE MUN & MA PUI TSUEN )

Lei Yue Mun, which is located at the eastern spur of Kowloon Peninsula, is one of the few places in Hong Kong that are rich in granite resources. The Lei Yue Mun Village was settled on the coastal land at the toe of the Devil Peak facing Lyemun Strait to its south probably around or earlier than 1821 and well before the Qing Dynasty under the reign of Guangxu (光緒) Emperor (1875-1908). The Village which was used to be known as Sam Ka Tsuen (三家村), was a village lived with three families of “Hakka”; each of them had their own houses with agricultural and pig farming nearby.
