King Law Ka Shuk, Ancestral hall in Tai Po Tau, Hong Kong.

King Law Ka Shuk consists of three halls and two courtyards with granite columns supporting the roof and geometric patterns decorating the main ridge.

The Tang clan constructed this ancestral hall in the early 18th century after settling in the area during the 13th century from Kam Tin, Yuen Long.

The main chamber contains a six-level altar created in Guangzhou in 1932 for placing ancestral soul tablets from Yuen-leung to King-law.

The building hosts clan meetings and traditional ceremonies, previously functioning as a study hall accommodating up to 40 students at once.

The restoration project in 2001 involved specialists from Hong Kong, China, and England, earning a UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Award for Conservation.
