History

Ying Lung Wai was established by a branch of the Tang Clan of Kam Tin, who had set up the nearby villages of Sai Pin Wai and Nam Pin Wai, but later moved to the area to establish the village due to feng shui reasons.[2][3]

At the time of the 1911 census, the population of Ying Lung Wai was 94. The number of males was 38.[4]

Ying Lung Wai is part of the Tung Tau alliance (東頭約)[5] or "Joint Meeting Group of Seven Villages", together with Nam Pin Wai, Tung Tau Tsuen, Choi Uk Tsuen, Shan Pui Tsuen, Wong Uk Tsuen and Tai Wai Tsuen.[6] The Yi Shing Temple in Wong Uk Tsuen is an alliance temple of the Tung Tau Alliance.[5]
