Sam Tung Uk Museum

This museum in Tsuen Wan was originally a Hakka walled village built in
1786. The layout of the village resembles a chequerboard with an entrance
hall, an assembly hall and an ancestral hall along the central axis. The
village, a declared monument, was furnished with traditional Hakka
furniture and farming implements. Two thematic exhibitions respectively
on the pottery industry at Wun Yiu, Tai Po and the posters of Hong Kong
in the 1920s and 1930s were also staged at the museum during the year.
The museum is the largest of its kind in Hong Kong and attracted 381 775
visitors in 1997.
