Heritage

Sam Tung Uk Village is a Hakka walled village built
in 1786. After vacation in 1980, the walled village
was restored in 1987 as Sam Tung Uk Museum
showing the history of the walled village and life of
the villagers (Figure 35). The village was declared
as a monument in 1981.

Hoi Pa Village, which was also originally a Hakka
village established in the late 18th and early 19th
century, has been redeveloped into Tak Wah Park.
A village house built in 1904 in the middle of the
park (Figure 36) was preserved as a fine example of Figure 35: Sam Tung Uk Village/Sam Tung Uk Museum
traditional southern Chinese village architecture. It
was declared as a monument in 1996.

Chai Wan Kok Site of Archaeological Interest is
located at the hill near Tsuen King Circuit. Relics of
the Neolithic Age and the Han Dynasty were found
at the site.

Apart from the two declared monuments and the
site of archaeological interest, there are a number
of historic buildings in the New Town graded by
the Antiquities Advisory Board, which also have
preservation value. Figure 36: Traditional Hakka house preserved in Tak Wah Park
