The three Hakka villages of Tam Shui Hang, Tong To and Shan Tsui had a total population of around 1,000 persons in 1961. During the Cultural Revolution, the villagers of these three places removed a Tin Hau image from a Man Mo temple located across the border in Mainland China and built a temple in Tsoi Yuen Kok, at the western end of Kong Ha Village to house the image. The temple was under the management of a special trust, the Sam Wo Tong .[5] In the 1990s, the residents constructed a new Tin Hau Temple at the present location, south of Tam Shui Hang, where the original statue of Tin Hau is enshrined.[6]
The Kwan Ah School in Tam Shui Hang ceased operation in 2004.[7]
