History

[edit]

Tai Lam Wu was part of the inter-village grouping, the Ho Chung Tung (蠔涌洞) or Ho Chung Seven Villages (蠔涌七鄉), which had its centre in Ho Chung.[2]

At the time of the 1911 census, the population of Ngau Liu was 14. The number of males was 5.[3]

In 1955, Austin Coates reported that Ngau Liu was very small Punti hamlet, comprising two families surnamed Wan and Chan. He described the village as a subsidiary of Tai Lam Wu.[4]
