Ping Shan Tang Clan Gallery
cum Heritage Trail Visitors Centre

Ping
Shan in the Yuen Long district is one of Hong Kong most
historically significant regions. The Tang Clan, one of
the major clans in the New Territories, settled in Ping
Shan as early as the 12th century. The Ping Shan Heritage
Trail links various historic buildings which are located
along a convenient walking route. It was established in
1993 by the Antiquities and Monuments Office (AMO) with
the full support of the Ping Shan Tang Clan. In 2007, the
AMO and the Ping Shan Tang Clan collaborated again for the
opening of the Ping Shan Tang Clan Gallery cum Heritage
Trail Visitors Centre (the Centre). Converted from the Old
Ping Shan Police Station built in 1899, the Centre introduces
local folk culture and heritage along the Trail.
