Island House, Colonial heritage building in Yuen Chau Tsai, Hong Kong
The Island House features two floors with open verandahs and red-brick facades surrounded by gardens containing native and ornamental plant species.
Constructed in 1906 as the residence for the District Commissioner of the New Territories, Island House received monument status in 1983.
The World Wide Fund for Nature Hong Kong operates the Island House Conservation Studies Centre, providing environmental education programs and sustainable development initiatives.
Visitors need to make reservations through WWF Hong Kong to access designated areas of Island House and participate in guided tours.
The structure stands on what was formerly an isolated islet in Tolo Harbour, now connected to Tai Po New Town by a constructed causeway.
