The picturesque old village of Tin Sam Tsuen in Hong Kong, marked by small houses built with bricks in a traditional colour and an ancestral hall with green and white walls, has been home to generations of residents for hundreds of years.
From traditional rituals to celebrate newborns to flowing banquets during festive occasions, the historic village of about 50 households in far-flung Hung Shui Kiu also holds many memories for its residents.
Villagers would come together, moving in and out of the clan hall to share meals laid out across 20 to 30 tables.

“In the past, during Chinese New Year, all neighbours would visit our grandfather here at our ancestral house,” she recalled.
“When one of our uncles got married, we cooked poon choi here and held a flowing banquet for three days,” said Chan, referring to a traditional Cantonese festive meal composed of many layers of ingredients – often including prawns, scallops and abalone – in one large bowl.
