Ping Shan Heritage Trail
屏山文物径
Hong Kong's first heritage trail. It links more than ten historic buildings, including the Tang Ancestral Hall and Tsui Sing Lau pagoda, and showcases the clan culture of the New Territories' indigenous people.
The Ping Shan Heritage Trail is in Ping Shan, Yuen Long. It is about 1.6 kilometres long and links historic buildings left by the Tang clan, who have lived in the village for more than 800 years. These include the Tang Ancestral Hall, Yu Kiu Ancestral Hall, Kan Ting Study Hall, Sheung Cheung Wai, and Tsui Sing Lau, the only ancient pagoda in Hong Kong. The former Ping Shan Police Station has been converted into the Ping Shan Tang Clan Heritage Museum, which explains the history of the clan. Most of the buildings are free to visit, though some close on Tuesdays or at certain times. From Tin Shui Wai MTR station, it is about a 5-minute walk to the start of the trail at Tsui Sing Lau.
