From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Choi Uk Tsuen (蔡屋村) is a village in the Yuen Long District of Hong Kong, China. The community living in Choi Uk Tsuen consists of people who have the surname Cai (romanized as Choi in Cantonese), specifically descendants of three independent family lines who share the same name and have joined the village at various times.

The village has an ancestral hall which houses photos of the living and deceased people of the village.

The traditional Poon Choi (Big Bowl Feast) still continues when there is a major event taking place (eg, wedding celebration and various Chinese Festivals according to the Chinese New year).

Villagers have to decide who they want to represent the village. The villagers decide through the electoral selection.
