This ancient Hakka walled village was first built in 1786 by migrants from Fujian and was inhabited until the 1970s, after which it was restored to serve as a portal into the past. Although it seems a bit artificial after restoration, the village is an excellent example of the many Hakka villages throughout southern China. The grandest of these lie on the Guangdong-Fujian border, still housing hundreds of people within their fortified, often circular walls. The rectangular village here in TsuenWan contains 12 restored houses and ancestral halls, complete with original furnishings. It’s a 10-minute walk west from the MTR station and is clearly signposted.
