The Five Great Clans of the New Territories refer to five families that settled early and became sizeable in the new Territories of Hong Kong.

They are the Tang (Deng; 鄧), the Man (Wen; 文), Hau (Hou; 侯), Pang (Peng; 彭) and Liu (Liao; 廖).[1]

The Hau Clan arrived in modern-day Hong Kong towards the end of the 12th century, during the Southern Song Dynasty. They first settled at Ho Sheung Heung. They later settled three branch-villages: Yin Kong, Kam Tsin and Ping Kong.[1]: 26
