station is also notable. Apart from the architecture of Muk Wu, nature and wildlife abound, with great Egrets visiting from time to time, and an abundance of exotic insects during hot seasons. Settlers (The Punti people) The village's original settlers were: "To" (), "Wong" () and "Yam"(), where "To" () remained the dominant surname even at present. Today, there are various families from China unrelated to the early settlers. Each clan's surname has a remarkable history. "To" () clan trace their roots back to East of Chang'an present day Xi'an, Shaanxi in China. At the time of the 1911 census, the population of Muk Wu was 174. The number of males was 81. Today, there are only a handful of indigenous villagers living in Muk Wu and visiting relatives of the "To" () clan. The Chinese festivals such as: Mid-Autumn festival (), Chinese New Year, Ching Ming () and Chung Yeung () "paying homage to ancestors", attract most tourists and relations of the clans to reunite. During these public holidays especially Ching Ming and Chung Yeung the bus services are very busy and passengers pack buses to the full. The occasion can be quite a sight and the atmosphere is most welcoming and cheerful.
