Law Uk, Chai Wan [????- ]

Submitted by LizB on Sun, 03/26/2023 - 04:05

"Law Uk was a simple Hakka residence built over 200 years old [sic] by the Law family, whose ancestors settled there early in the Kang Xi reign (1662-1722) of the Qing dynasty. [...] Fronted by an open threshing yard, the building is a typical medium-sized Hakka village house, with a main room, two side rooms, a kitchen and a store-room. The village house is the only example left from the old farming villages which used to be in Chai Wan."
