Kwu Uk Lane, Tsuen Wan. Follow signs from Tsuen Wan MTR for 100m. Wed-Sun 9am-5pm. Free. Sam Tung Uk Museum is an eighteenth century Hakka walled village, founded by a clan from China’s Fujian province. As the New Town of Tsuen Wan went up around it in the 1980s, the villagers moved out and it became a museum, unlike Hong Kong’s several accessible Hakka villages which are still lived in today.

The name means “three beamed dwelling”, after the three-roofed halls that form the central axis, onto which new housing was added as the village grew; there’s a common room for villagers; a central hall for banquets and gatherings; and an ancestral hall painted bright red and green, which faces the main entrance. The village’s separate buildings are connected by narrow lanes - open-air corridors really - and display traditional farming implements, some beautiful blackwood furniture, and more functional chairs, tables, cooking utensils and cleaning tools (all sourced from contemporary villages in China). Outside, the gardens have been landscaped to show where there would have been a threshing ground and a fish pond, and there’s a gatehouse beyond, which would have guarded the entrance to the village.
