Situated in Hang Mei Tsuen in Ping Shan, the Kun Ting Study Hall was built in 1870 by Tang Heung Chuen of the 22nd generation of the Tang clan in commemoration of his father Tang Kun Ting. The study hall provided facilities for both ancestral worship and education.

A number of study halls were built in the Ping Shan area to prepare the clan’s young students for the imperial civil service examinations. Passing the examinations earned them the qualification to serve as officials in the Qing government, which was seen as a way to enhance the prominent social status of the Tang clan.

Despite the abolition of the imperial examination in the early 20th century, the study hall continued to provide educational facilities for clan’s younger generations until the early post-Second World War period.

The Kun Ting Study Hall is a two-hall building with a courtyard. The distinguished design of the ancestral altar, brackets, screen panels, wall paintings, ridge decorations, eave boards and plaster mouldings inside the hall reflect the high level of skill of the craftsmen of the period in which it was built. The study hall was restored to its original splendour in 1991 thanks to a donation from the Hong Kong Jockey Club.
