Yu Kiu Ancestral Hall

Yu Kiu Ancestral Hall, a 16th century building located next to Tang Ancestral Hall. It is in the middle of the trail and is convenient to find and explore.

It was constructed in the early 16th century by two 11th generation brothers of the Tang Clan: Tang Sai-yin (alias Yu-sing) and Tang Sai-chiu (alias Kiu-lum). In addition to serving as an ancestral hall, the building housed the Tat Tak School from 1931 to 1961. The last major renovation of the building probably took place during the Guangxu (1875-1908) of Qing, as indicated by the engraved characters on the stone tablet above the main entrance.

The building includes three main halls with two inner courtyards, it is identical to the Tang Ancestral Hall next door. The exterior facade is grey brick and typical of other heritage buildings in the area, with symmetric entrance, basic columns and subtle roof and ridge motif ornamentation.
