Sheung Yiu Folk Museum, Hakka heritage museum in Sai Kung District, Hong Kong.

Sheung Yiu Folk Museum is a restored village complex with eight traditional houses built on raised platforms, occupying roughly 500 square meters. The site shows how people lived and worked in a rural Hakka settlement, with rooms that still hold their original furnishings.

The Hakka Wong family built Sheung Yiu village in the late 19th century, about 150 years ago, and prospered from a lime kiln whose lime was used in mortar, fertiliser and lime bricks and tiles. Modern bricks and cement brought decline; in the 1950s the men left for urban areas or overseas, and the village was abandoned in September 1968. After full restoration in 1983 it opened as a museum in 1984.

The name reflects the Wong family heritage, the Hakka group who settled and lived here for generations. Visitors can see how rooms were arranged to show the everyday patterns of traditional Hakka village life.

The best way to reach the site is by taking bus routes 94 or 96R to Sheung Yiu station, then walking about 15 minutes along the Pak Tam Chung Nature Trail. The grounds are relatively flat and easy to navigate, making it accessible for most visitors.

The village name Sheung Yiu means "above the kiln", pointing to the lime kiln beside the settlement. Coral and shells were baked there to make lime for mortar, fertiliser and bricks. The restored kiln is open for visitors to see, a short walk from the row of houses.
