Description

The Liu clan, a prosperous family that settled in the New Territories, came from Fujian in the 14th century to live in the Hong Kong area. Their main ancestral hall, Liu Man Shek Tong, demonstrates the success of the family with its ornate carvings, embellishments, moldings, and beautiful murals that adorn the walls. The building is designed in a traditional manner, with three halls, two courtyards, and a garden in front. The hall has been restored by both the Liu family and the Hong Kong Government in the late 20th century and is now a beautiful example of an ornate, centuries-old family gathering hall.
