The Chung family was once an influential clan in Peng Chau. It was said that the Chungs's ancestor was a general who retired to Peng Chau, who was skilled in medicine. He cured innumerable people. The site for Chung's ancestral hall was selected by the order of the emperor. The hall occupied the best Feng Shui locale on Peng Chau. However, when the Feng Shui was broken, the strongest descendants perished. The remaining descendant moved away and left the hall unattended. This is the ruin we see today.
