A lesser-known spot in Hong Kong that most people wouldn't think to visit—Ping Shan Heritage Trail

❤️Recommended because: 👉Yuen Long Ping Shan is one of the oldest areas in Hong Kong, and the Tang clan is an indispensable important clan in the New Territories. 👉From the early Northern Song Dynasty to the present, the Tang clan has established "three wais and six villages" in Ping Shan, constructing many ancestral halls, temples, study halls, ancient pagodas, and other traditional buildings. These cultural heritages preserve the historical memory of Ping Shan. 👉This trail is the first heritage trail in Hong Kong and is also content that I am very interested in. It's amazing how well the 🇭🇰 clans have preserved Chinese traditions, and it's rare to see such a complete group of folk relics in the province. 📍Detailed address: Transportation is very convenient, less than 2 kilometers in total from 🚇Tin Shui Wai E3 exit, about a 20-minute walk. I took a bus when I went, but those who are physically fit don't need to. Suggested walking route🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️because I toured from the top of the hill downwards. If you start from Tin Shui Wai station, the route is just the opposite. The map is on the last slide 👉The Tang Clan Heritage Museum is a museum and also the visitor center of the heritage trail, converted from the old Ping Shan Police Station of 1899. Because it is built on a small slope at the top of the hill, you can also overlook Yuen Long. 🌟Highlights: 1️⃣Ping Shan Tang Clan Heritage Museum🌟 2️⃣Hung Shing Temple, built during the Qing Dynasty, with a history of 200 years 3️⃣Jing Ting Study Hall🌟, a study hall used by the village scholars for the imperial examinations, the wealthy families really had it good 4️⃣Shu Qing Study Hall's ancient gatehouse 5️⃣Tang Clan Ancestral Hall🌟, the largest ancestral hall in Hong Kong, with a history of 700 years 6️⃣Yu Qiao Er Gong Ancestral Hall🌟, with a history of 500 years (cover photo here📸) 7️⃣Ren Dun Gang Study Hall 8️⃣Yang Hou Ancient Temple, with hundreds of years of history 9️⃣Ancient Well, over 200 years old 🔟Shang Zhang Wei, an ancient walled village, with a history of 200 years 1️⃣1️⃣Community altar, with hundreds of years of history 1️⃣2️⃣Ju Xing Lou🌟 1️⃣3️⃣Tin Shui Wai MTR Station
