Old House at Wong Uk Village
Characteristic
Located in the south-eastern corner of Yuen Chau Kok, Wong Uk Village was founded some 200 years ago by a couple surnamed Wong from Xingning county of Guangdong province. Most of the old buildings of the village fell into ruins or demolition due to the reclamation of Tide Cove for the development of the Sha Tin New Town. What remains is this old house standing as the only reminder of the history of Yuen Chau Kok. The building is a 2-storey green-brick structure of about 100 years old, with fine mural paintings and traditional decorations. It was declared as a monument in 1989.
