Tai Wai Tsuen, Walled village in Yuen Long District, Hong Kong
The walled village features traditional stone walls, watchtowers, and narrow streets arranged in a rectangular pattern within its protective boundaries.
Founded by the Wong and Choi clans in the early 16th century, the village provided defense against pirate attacks during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
The central ancestral hall functions as a gathering space where descendants honor their ancestors and maintain connections to their heritage through ceremonies.
Visitors can reach the village via public transportation to Yuen Long, followed by a short walk through the surrounding agricultural landscapes.
The village entrance displays an original stone archway with inscriptions that detail the founding families and establishment date of the settlement.
