Information

Island House as one of the most significant combinations of Chinese and modern western architecture was built in 1905. A long time ago, it acted as the residence for government officer, nowadays it becomes the protection of unique species of plants.

Walking inside the house, you can escape from the ‘concrete jungle’, enjoy being surrounded by plants and seeing the beautiful view of the coastline of Tolo harbour. Also, you can view the pretty building structure of the house, taking photos with the red brick arcaded rooftop and visit the bedrooms which were belonged to the British Hong Kong government officers.

It is worth visiting if you are interested in both the cases of the beauty of nature and Architectural aesthetics.

This point of interest is part of the tour: Tai Po Historical Trip
