Fanling Wai

Fanling Wai (Chinese: 粉嶺圍) is a village in Fanling, North District, Hong Kong, built by the Pang (彭) Clan. It is composed of a walled village and its two extensions: Ching Wai or Chung Wai (正圍 or 中圍; "central hamlet") - the only walled hamlet of Fanling Wai and also the first hamlet to be built, Pak Wai (北圍; "north hamlet"), and Nam Wai (南圍; "south hamlet").

Fanling Wai is the centre of the Pang Clan, who arrived in Hong Kong during the Southern Song dynasty (1127-1279). The wai (walled village) was constructed in the early part of the Wanli (1572–1620) reign of the Ming dynasty.

The ancestors of the Pang Clan of Fanling Wai were settled in Gansu province, in China, and moved to Jishui County in Jiangxi province in 739, and later, during the Northern Song dynasty (960- 1127), they moved successively to Chaozhou and Dongguan. Pang Kwei (彭桂), the founding ancestor of the Pang Clan, moved from Dongguan to Lung Shan (龍山), now known as Lung Yeuk Tau of Fanling, in 1190. He then moved to Fan Leng Lau in 1220 and established a village over there. As the population of the clan increased, they moved westward to settle in Fanling Wai and other places.
