🚌Take Bus 73K from Sheung Shui MTR Station to Fung Kai No.1 Secondary School Stop
Do you know how the name “Liu Man Shek Tong” came about? It turns out that five outstanding members of the clan passed the Imperial Civil Service Examinations, with each earning an annual salary of 2,000 shi, totaling 10,000 shi, hence the name Liu Man Shek Tong (Liu hall of ten thousand shi). From 1932 to the early 1970s, this ancestral hall of the Liu clan of Sheung Shui Heung housed Fung Kai Primary School to educate the young clansmen📚

As one of the three main ancestral halls built by the Liu clan after settled Sheung Shui Wai, it is where clansmen hold spring ancestral worship, birthday celebrations, and weddings. From the murals on the façade and the plaster mouldings with scroll grass patterns on the ridge to the delicate wood carvings inside , every detail is exquisite. Its restoration project even won an Honourable Mention in the 2006 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation🏆
