[原創] 客家圍村:三棟屋博物館 Sam Tung UK Museum

三棟屋是典型的客家圍村，一九八七年修繕後，成為康樂及文化事務署的博物館，供公眾人士參觀。三棟屋於一七八六年由陳姓客家人建立，陳氏家族於十八世紀中期從廣東移居本港，擇居荃灣，並且填平沿海的土地作耕種之用。三棟屋原先只有三列房舍，由族長陳任盛所建，他的後人先後在村的兩旁及後面加建房子。位於中軸線上的正廳，擺放了陳氏先祖的神位，面向正門，正門石楣上刻有「陳氏家祠」四字。
Sam Tung Uk Village is a Hakka walled village restored in 1987 and opened to the public as a museum of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. It was built by the Chan clan in 1786. The Chan clan moved from Guangdong in the 1750s, and settled in Tsuen Wan, where they reclaimed land along the seashore for cultivation. Chan Yam-shing, a clan leader, first constructed three rows of village houses on the site. His descendants later built annex houses to the sides and at the back of the village house. The family ancestral altar was placed in the main hall lying on the central axis facing the entrance. The four Chinese characters signifying 'Chan' Family Ancestral Hall', were engraved on the granite lintel above the door frame.
