History The area was once a center of porcelain industry in the New Territories. The clans of Man and Tse began manufacturing blue and white porcelain in the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). In 1674 (the 13th year of the reign of the Qing dynasty Kangxi Emperor), the Ma Hakka clan, originally from Changle county, Guangdong, settled in Tai Po and purchased the kilns from the Man clan. At the time of the 1911 census, the population of Ha Wun Yiu was 60; the number of males was 26. The population of Sheung Wun Yiu was 129; the number of males was 53. Because of the competition from good-quality and inexpensive porcelain produced by other coastal kilns in Guangdong, the kilns at Wun Yiu finally stopped operating in 1932. Declared Monuments Wun Yiu Pottery Kilns The remains of the ancient kilns of Wun Yiu Village have been declared a monument. In the remains of the ancient kilns, relics illustrating the complete process of porcelain production were discovered during archaeological investigations. These artefacts include china clay quarrying pits, water-mills, animal-driven grinders, clay soaking tanks and dragon kilns. Fan Sin Temple Fan Sin Temple, alias "Fan Sin Kung" or "Fan Sin Miu", was declared a monument on 30December 1999. Fan Sin Temple, located in Sheung Wun Yiu, is the main temple in the villages of the Sheung Wun Yiu and Ha Wun Yiu; it is the only example of worshipping this deity in Hong Kong. It is uncertain when the temple was constructed. However, according to a wooden plaque hanging at the main hall of the temple, it has a history of over 200 years as the plaque was carved in the geng-xu year of the Qianlong Emperor (1790). It is commonly believed that the Fan Sin Temple was built by the Ma clan to worship Fan Tai Sin Sze, the patron saint of potters. Windows with iron frameworks were installed on four sides of the temple after
