It was built by a Chan (Chinese: 陳, pronounced "chin2 (or tshin2)" in the Hakka dialect) clan under the leadership of the clan patriarch, Chan Yam-shing, in 1786 during the Qing dynasty.[2] The Chan clan was originally from Fujian; they had moved to Guangdong, and then to Hong Kong to engage in farming.[1] The site has been carefully restored and opened to the public as a museum.
Sam Tung Uk was vacated in April 1980 and declared a historic monument in March 1981.[2] The Hong Kong government funded its restoration and converted it into a museum between 1986 and 1987. The restoration work won the Pacific Heritage Award of the Pacific Asia Tourist Association in 1990.
