Characteristic

Sam Tung Uk Museum is in fact the site of the former Sam Tung Uk Village which was relocated elsewhere in the 1970s for the construction of MTR Tsuen Wan Station. To preserve the village-type structures and relics that reveal the rural life of the past, the government specially converted these village houses into a museum with a rural flavour. The museum is a declared monument.
