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.
