Description


Law Uk Folk Museum

Law Uk (Chinese: 羅屋; meaning "Law's House") is a former Hakka village house located in Chai Wan, Hong Kong. Named after the surname of the family who had previously lived in the house, it was built in the mid-18th century during the Qing Dynasty, about ninety years before the British took possession of Hong Kong Island. It was rediscovered in the 1970s and is a declared monument of Hong Kong. After being restored, the house was turned into the Law Uk Folk Museum, which serves as a branch of the Hong Kong Museum of History. It is the only example of Hakka architecture left in the area.
