Most tourists visited Hong Kong Island and Kowloon but rarely visit New Territories. People asked me where are the buildings over 300 years old. The British colonial period started in 1841 (only 182 years ago). What did Hong Kong look like in the pre-colonial period?
In this tour, I will take you to the ancestral hall of the traditional Chinese House. I will also show you the tradition of worshipping god in a temple.
Route:
1. Traditional Walled Village - Tsang Tai Uk
One of Hong Kong’s best-preserved walled villages. You can still see the original granite, bricks and timber used to build the village. Guard towers were built on each of the four corners to protect against pirates, who ran rampant in Hong Kong until the early 20th century. This is still a living village.
2. Sha Tin Che Kung Temple
This is a temple of 300 years old. Was built before the colonial period. You will learn about the traditional culture
3. The Old House at Wong Uk Village
I will show you how to appreciate the fine mural paintings and traditional decorations on the traditional house.
Wong Uk Village was founded during the reign of Qianlong (1736-1795) in the Qing dynasty by the Wong clan from Xingning county in Guangdong. In the 19th century, the village became a major trading station for travellers and traders plying the route between Guangdong and Kowloon and prospered until the late 19th century.

Hong Kong is known for its wealth gap. One-fifth of Hongkongers live in poverty. Homelessness is on the rise in Hong Kong.
Where do people go if they want to get legal drugs ( Methadone ) ? Where do the poor go if they run out of money? Where do the poor go if they get sick? Where do the poor go if they want to have a hair cut?
In the 3 hours tour, I will show you how the poor people make a living and where the homeless people stay. From globalisation to government policy, some hong kongers struggle to make ends meet. By the end of the tour, you will understand the difference between the rooftop house, subdivided flats, coffin house and cage house.
