Sam Mun Tsai Pak Kung
The Sam Mun Tsai “Pak Kung” was originally situated under a big tree at a corner of old Sam Mun Tsai, where a tablet was set up under the tree by the villagers. A “Pak Kung” is surely found in every fishermen settlement and is worshipped for safety in travel, peace and health. It is estimated that there were fishermen building houses and settling on shore in old Sam Mun Tsai before 1898. The fishermen who settled in old Sam Mun Tsai used to fish in the waters near Tai Mei Tuk and Tolo Harbour. Sheltered by the hills and islands nearby, old Sam Mun Tsai was a natural shelter harbour for the fishermen and the fishermen who later became local inhabitants of old Sam Mun Tsai continued the custom of worshipping “Pak Kung”. In 1965, the Government relocated the villagers of the old Sam Mun Tsai Village to Yim Tin Tsai (where the Sam Mun Tsai Fishermen’s New Village is currently situated) to make way for the Plover Cove Reservoir. Considering that they had been protected by the “Pak Kung” over the years, the fishermen decided to move to their new home with the “Pak Kung” to move to the new shrine in the Sam Mun Tsai Fishermen’s New Village, and the “Pak Kung” is still being worshipped by the villagers to date.
