Shung Yu National Museum
Pak Tam Chung Nature Trail, Sai Kung, Hong Kong, China
About the company:
The Shung Yu Museum, located in a very beautiful place, is a restored village built in the late XIX century.
Initially, this village was a fortified settlement located in the picturesque place of Sai Kang. The local way of building houses made of burnt lime at the end of the XX century was recognized as historically significant and in fact the village was declared a historical monument. After the restoration work, in 1984 it functioned as a museum.
In this capacity, the village fully reproduces the way of life and life of the village. There are houses, outbuildings (barn, pigsty, etc.), a watchtower, a variety of agricultural tools and household items, which fully reflect all the features of rural life of the Shung Yu people in the heyday. Part of the exhibits, as well as historical facts, reflect special video displays installed in the museum.
