Site of Fat Tau Chau Custom Station, Archaeological site and declared monument in Sai Kung District, Hong Kong
The Fat Tau Chau Custom Station stands on Fat Tong Chau island, featuring stone structures that served maritime trade control functions in the nineteenth century.
Established in 1868 by the Viceroy of Guangdong and Guangxi, this customs station collected taxes on opium trade until operations ended in 1899.
The discovery of a stone slab with inscriptions about customs exchange with Annam provides evidence of regional maritime trade relationships.
Visitors can examine the archaeological remains of the customs station while artifacts from the site are displayed at the Hong Kong Museum of History.
The station forms part of three archaeological interest sites on Fat Tong Chau, including a house ruin and a Qing Dynasty gravestone.
