Built in 1828, also known as Liu Ying Fung Study Hall. With a “凹” shaped design, about 20 metres long and 12 metres wide. It is located opposite of the Liu Ying Lung Study Hall, because brothers Liu Ying Lung and Liu Ying Fung are very cooperative, they respect and support each other, so their Halls get to built close together.

Even though it has “study hall” in its name, it mainly serves for worshiping, gathering and celebrating purposes.

Liu Ming Tak Ancestral Hall

Built in the early years of Qing Dynasty Yongzheng reign (1723-1735), it is the ancestral hall for the Liu Clan of Sheung Shui Heung.

The hall held celebrations of members passing the Imperial Civil Service Examinations, annual worship ceremonies, discussions of village affairs and festivals. But in 1932, the hall was turned into a campus for Fung Kai Primary School to educate young residents of the clan until the school was reallocated to a new place.

Also known as Hin Shing Tong (顯𠄘堂). It was built by the descendants of Liu Ying Lung, the fourth generation ancestor of the second branch of the eastward of the Liu Clan of Sheung Shui Heung, in the eighteenth year of Qing Dynasty Daoguang reign (1838).

Initially used as study hall, it was converted into Fung Kai Kindergarten from 1963 to 1988. Other than using it for educational purposes, it was used as one of the 3 main ancestral halls in Sheung Shui Heung. Residents hold spring ancestral worshippings, birthday celebrations and weddings here.
