"I sincerely hope that a new heritage trail will be opened in Kam Tin to cater for public interest in local heritage."
Since its opening in December last year, the Ping Shan Heritage Trail has been exceedingly well patronised by both tourists and locals. An average of 25,000 visitors has been recorded every month.
The study hall opened today, Yi Tai Shue Yuen (literally meaning study hall of the two immortals (the Man Cheong and Kwan Tai, literary god and martial god respectively), is the first declared building in Kam Tin area.
Yi Tai Shue Yuen was built during the Daoguang Reign (1821-1850) and was used as a venue for educating the youngsters of the Shui Tau Tsuen where it is located.
The structure was restored with the full support of the Tang clan from the area.
Solely funded by the Government, the restoration project was supervised by the Antiquities and Monuments Office of the Recreation and Culture Branch and the Antiquities Section of the Architectural Services Department.
