Own farmland, the only temporary housing area left in Hong Kong

Hello everyone, this time to introduce you to Pok Fu Lam Village, by the way, introduce its history, in addition to the dairy company, to count the Qing Dynasty period has been living there, let me introduce the history of Pok Fu Lam Village in detail 🤔 During the San Francisco Rebellion during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, about 2,000 people fled here from mainland China and became the indigenous residents of Hong Kong Island. In the early days, the villagers were mainly people surnamed Chen, Huang, Luo and Gan, who made a living by farming. The Xin'an County Chronicle compiled in the 24th year of Jiaqing (1819) mentioned that Pok Fu Lam Village was one of the three villages on Hong Kong Island (the other two were Stanley Village and Hong Kong Circle). In 1886, the Dairy Company was established, which built a pasture near Pok Fu Lam Village to raise dairy cows. Due to the need for a large number of manpower, this led to a rapid increase in the population of the village. Various shops such as street markets came into being, forming a small community. After the ranch closed, the number of villagers gradually decreased, and many shops closed down one after another, but the traditional culture of Pok Fu Lam Village itself has been passed down to this day. After World War II, a large number of refugees took refuge here from mainland China, which increased the number of residents in the village from more than 20 to more than 100, and the original vegetable garden was gradually developed into houses. As Hong Kong's economy took off in the 1980s, the number of residents in the village began to decrease, but many villagers still live in the village. In the village, there are also some homesteads, stores, hardware stores, restaurants, and many characteristic photo spots.
