Yuen Long Half-day Visit - 16.1.2009

On 16 Jan 2009, I have visited a number of places in Yuen Long. At first, I have been to Yuen Long old town (Nam Pin Wai & Sai Pin Wai) where there were ancient chinese temples (Tai Wong Temple, Yuen Kwan Yi Tai Temple) and Tsun Yuen Pawnshop (which was built 200 years ago!)

Then I visited Man Tin Cheung Park & Tai Fu Tai Mansion in San Tin area. It was probably built in 1865 by Man Chung-luen and said to be one of the most elegant buildings throughout the territority. Some decorative features of the Mansion were of western style.
