The First Heritage Trail in Hong Kong

Ping Shan Heritage Trail is a line of Tang Clan, one of the “Five great Clans” of New Territories. They have lived there since 12^th century. Numerous elegant structures built since that time still stand today, bearing testimony to the historical and social developments that have taken place over the past centuries.  It gives us an opportunity to learn more about the traditional life in the NT. 

  

        

When we visited the Tang Ancestral Hall and Yu Kiu Ancestral Hall, it was so lucky that we met a local gentry. He told us that the Tang Ancestral Hall was the main hall, uses as a venue for worship, festivals, ceremonies and clan meetings. For Yu Kiu Ancestral Hall, it was built by generation brothers of the clan. It was also used as school in the past.
