Law UK Folk Museum, a Traditional Hakka Chinese House, Chai Wan, Hong Kong, China


2007 Photograph Image: Law Uk is a simple Hakka village house for residence which was built over 200 years ago by the Law family. The house is named after its original owner, a Hakka family whose Chinese surname is transcripted as "Law".Their ancestors settled in Chai Wan early in the Kangxi reign (1662-1722) of the Qing Dynasty. The Laws were poor peasants who grew rice as their livelihood. This house is the only example left from the old farming villages which used to be in Chai Wan. It is a branch museum of Hong Kong Museum of History. (wikipedia) vertical
