Ping Shan Heritage Trial

Ping Shan Heritage Trial is an easy walking route which allows you to learn more about the past of Hong Kong from several traditional Chinese buildings along the way.

This building located on a hill was once a police headquarter of Ping Shan, which now serves as Ping Shan Tang Clan Gallery cum Heritage Trail Visitors Centre introducing the old lifestyle, especially those related to the Tang Clan.

















The door gods safeguard the Tang Ancestral Hall, where the Tangs worship their ancestors and celebrate occasions.

















These animals are not simply for decorations use but also carry wishes to the owner's families.

















Kun Ting Study Hall was built for the guys of the family to study and prepare public exams, a way to become officials in the past.

















Beautiful interiors of the buildings.


Sheung Cheung Wai, is  a walled village. Many of the houses behind the wall are very modernized now.  

















A modern building in the middle of the old ones. A scene which the new meets the old.
