Tsang Tai-cheung had moved, together with his two brothers, from Huizhou to Muk Min Ha Tsuen (木棉下村) in today's Tsuen Wan area, during the Yongle period (1403-1424). He then moved to Chuen Lung several decades later.[2]

The Tsang Ancestral Hall in Chuen Lung is believed to have been built in around the 17th century.[2] It is listed as a Grade III historic building.
