Sheung Yiu Folk Museum

In the 1950s, the villagers' men moved away to the urban areas or went overseas to earn a living, leaving some of the aged and children to reside in this property.

Pak Tam Chung was described as consisting of six villages in 1911 with fewer than 405 inhabitants: Wong Yi Chau (黃宜洲), Pak Tam (北潭), Sheung Yiu, Tsak Yue Wu (鯽魚湖), Wong Keng Tei (黃麖地) and Tsam Chuk Wan.

[2][3] Pak Tam Chung (Sheung Yiu) is a recognized village under the New Territories Small House Policy.

[4] The row of the eight houses constructed on a raised platform with a watch tower at its entrance are preserved and opened to the public.

The restored building contains a number of typical Hakka utensils and farming tools, and also some displays on the history of the inhabitants.
