Lung Kwu Tan
Lung Kwu Tan (Chinese: 龍鼓灘) is an area located in the western part of the Tuen Mun District in Hong Kong.
The area is located to the southwest of Castle Peak and consists of Lung Kwu Tan and Lung Kwu Sheung Tan. Lung Kwu Tan is a beach with black sand.
Lung Kwu Tan Village is a recognized village under the New Territories Small House Policy. It is one of the 36 villages represented within the Tuen Mun Rural Committee. Lung Kwu Tan Village Representative Lau Wong-fat was the chairman of the Heung Yee Kuk in 1980–2015 and an influential figure in rural Hong Kong politics.
Lung Kwu Tan Village has a history of a few hundred years.
In 2021, police in the area seized 10 speedboats and a record 57 engines, both used for illegal smuggling, in a 100,000 sqft warehouse belonging to a company owned by Kenneth Lau and his family.
Visitors attractions in Lung Kwu Tan include the local Tin Hau Temple at Pak Long (北朗) and Bogy's Rock. While Lung Kwu Tan is a place of primitive simplicity, the opening of privately run barbecue sites have always drawn crowds of holidaymakers. Rare, endangered Chinese white dolphins can be observed from shores.
The Lau Ancestral Hall in Tuk Mei Chung (篤尾涌) village, part of Lung Kwu Tan, is a Grade III historic building.
It is said that Emperor Bing of Song (1271–1279) of the Southern Song dynasty went south as far as Lung Kwu Tan as he fled from the invading Mongols in the north. There is a cave at Lung Kwu Tan, which became known as the Emperor's Cave and is believed to be where Emperor Bing took refuge during his stay.[citation needed] During the period of Japanese occupation, the Dong Jiang guerrilla force made the cave one of its military bases to put up resistance against the Japanese.
