This
kilometre-long
trail
meanders
through
three
villages
and
contains
some
of
the
most
significant
historical
buildings
in
Yuen
Long
District
in
the
New
Territories.
The
trail
provides
an
insight
into
the
very
foundation
of
Hong
Kong
life
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
years
ago
when
hard-working
peasants
worked
their
small
farm
holdings.
This
is
also
the
home
of
the
Tang
clan
-
one
of
the
five
great
clans
that
established
themselves
in
the
New
Territories
many
hundreds
of
years
ago.
Topping
off
the
list
of
attractions
along
the
trail
is
Hong
Kong's
only
ancient
pagoda,
the
Tsui
Shing
Lau
which
is
believed
to
date
back
more
than
600
years.
Originally
seven
storeys
tall,
the
pagoda
was
damaged
by a
severe
storm
centuries
ago
and
only
the
lowest
three
remain
intact.
It
is
believed
that
due
to
feng
shui
reasons,
the
pagoda
has
been
left
as
it
is.
The
building
is
hexagonal,
and
constructed
of
green
brick
and
granite.
Next
is
the
Tang
Ancestral
Hall
built
by a
fifth
generation
Tang
clan
member,
Tang
Fung-shun
in
the
reign
of
the
Emperor
K'ang
Hsi
(1662-1723).
There
are
three
halls
containing
many
inscriptions.
Further
along
the
Trail
are
the
Kun
Ting
Study
Hall,
two
temples
and
other
historic
Chinese
buildings.
