About this audio guide
This guide to Sam Tung Uk Museum in Tsuen Wan follows the Hakka Chan clan from their migration out of Fujian to the walled village they built in 1786, laid out by feng shui masters. It traces what the enclosure meant for a community whose name means guest people, and the decades of change outside its walls as Tsuen Wan grew into a New Town. Stand in the ancestor hall and picture the clan's final walk out the gate in 1980.
