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?

This is a temple of 300 years old. Was built before the colonial period. You will learn about the traditional culture

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.
