Wang Uk Garden
Made by perryChow
Located at the south-west 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. In the 19th century, the island was a major station for travellers and goods plying between Guangdong and Kowloon. The village became a trading station for merchants and travellers, which prospered until the late 19th century. 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 two-storey green-brick structure of about 100 years old, with fine mural paintings and traditional decorations. www.amo.gov.hk/en/monuments_39.php
