Dafudi was built in the fourth year of Tongzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1865) and was the residence of Wen Songluan. According to the Wen family genealogy, the Wen family's ancestors originated from Sichuan, migrated to Jiangxi and Guangdong during the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279), and began to settle in San Tin, Yuen Long in the 15th century. Wen Songluan was the 21st ancestor of the Wen family and was granted the title of doctor. The Tai Fu Tai is a classic example of traditional South China gentry mansion architecture and one of the most magnificent historic buildings in Hong Kong. The main building of Dafudi has two entrances and three bays, with side rooms on both sides of the courtyard. There are one-bay ancillary buildings on the east and west sides of the main building. The east wing has a flower hall and inner courtyard, while the west wing is separated by a long corridor and has a kitchen, side hall and toilet. The comprehensive restoration of Tai Fu Tai was completed in 1988 under the supervision of the Antiquities and Monuments Office and the Architectural Services Department. Tai Fu Tai was declared a historic site in 1987.
