Originally built in 1525 and rebuilt around 1700, the Tang Chung Ling Ancestral Hall is the oldest and largest ancestral hall in Hong Kong, now listed as a Declared Monument. The Tang Chung Ling Ancestral Hall was declared a monument in 1997.The whole building is exquisitely decorated with fine wood carvings, polychrome plaster mouldings, ceramic sculptures and murals containing auspicious Chinese motifs. It is a three-hall building with “dong chung” (the screen doors that prevent evil spirits from entering) placed in the central hall.
Dedicated to the founding members of the Lung Yeuk Tau Tang clan, it houses the only imperial tablet in Hong Kong, which honours the clan’s ancestors, the Song Chinese princess and her Tang husband. The hall is also where the clan regularly holds events, educate their young and resolve their differences.
