Sheung Yiu Village (Pak Tam Chung, Sai Kung)

Sheung Yiu is a Hakka village situated inside the Sai Kung Country Park. Constructed on a raised platform with a watch tower at its entrance, the village has a row of eight houses and was built by a Hakka family surnamed Wong approximately 150 years ago. The village became prosperous due to its lime kiln whose produce was much sought-after for use in mortar and fertilizer. It began to decline in prosperity when modern bricks and cement came into use. The village after its full restoration in 1983, opened as Sheung Yiu Folk Museum. Furnished with farming implements and village period furniture, the folk museum recreates the atmosphere and environment of a small Hakka village. The original lime kiln has also been restored for public viewing.
