Old House, Wong Uk Village, Declared monument in Sha Tin District, Hong Kong.

The Old House in Wong Uk Village is a two-story brick residence in Sha Tin District, Hong Kong, built using green bricks and traditional Cantonese construction methods from the early 1900s. It contains several rooms with wooden fittings and follows a layout typical of prosperous rural households of that period.

Wong Uk Village was founded by a couple surnamed Wong from Xingning, Guangdong, during the Qianlong reign of the Qing dynasty, over 200 years ago. The present house was built around 1911 by Wong Tsing Wo, the 19th-generation descendant. In the 19th century the village was a trading stop on the route between Guangdong and Kowloon, and the clan ran the Yili Inn next to the house. The government took over the house in 1984 and declared it a monument on 22 December 1989.

The rooms are arranged around shared spaces in a way that reflects how a prosperous Cantonese family organised daily life. The carved wooden panels and decorated doorframes give a clear sense of the craftsmanship that wealthy households valued at the time.

The house stands in the old Wong Uk Village on the southeastern side of Yuen Chau Kok, now part of the Shing Mun River bank after the 1970s reclamation for Sha Tin New Town. The government took over the building in 1984 and laid out Wong Uk Garden beside it, so the house can be paired with a stop in that adjacent garden. Restoration work was carried out in 1996 and again in 2006.

The interior walls carry hand-painted decorations that are rarely found in private homes of this size in Hong Kong. These paintings were not the work of outside craftsmen hired for show, but reflect the personal taste of the Wong family who commissioned them.
