If you want to know more about the history of Hong Kong’s walled villages, the most direct way is to experience it in person, and the place that HongKongFootprint.com wants to introduce this time is a museum converted from a Hakka walled village.
This museum was built in 1987, the original site is a Hakka walled village with hundreds of years of history. This Hakka walled village has stood for more than two centuries. Whether it is brick by brick, it bears witness to the development history of Hong Kong and reflects the unique Hakka architectural culture of the past.
The name of the museum is “Sam Tung Uk Museum”, which means the village houses built in three-column layout. In the former layout of enclosed villages, most village houses were built in rows or columns, and most residents with the same surname lived together in the same row of village houses. This kind of layout is also called “terraced house” or “row house”, which is a very distinctive layout of the walled village.
