Sheung Yiu Village Museum

Sheung Yiu Village is a Hakka village which was built by a Hakka family surnamed Wong approximately 150 years ago. The village became prosperous due to its lime kiln whose produce was much sought-after for use in mortar and fertilizer, as well as lime bricks and tiles for building houses.

Sheung Yiu means "above the kiln" in Chinese.

The kiln has been restored.

It began to decline in prosperity when modern bricks and cement came into use. In the 1950s, the villagers moved away to the urban areas or went overseas to earn their living. The whole village was abandoned by the 1960s.

After the full restoration of the village in 1983, the village was opened as Sheung Yiu Folk Museum in 1984.

The restored building contains a number of typical Hakka utensils and farming tools, and also some displays on the history of the inhabitants.

Surely some mistake...

The pot on the right is for water, the smaller numbered pot on the left is for wine.
