[2025 Hong Kong Attraction] Travel Guide for Tai Fu Tai Mansion (Updated Apr)

Address－Wing Ping Estate, San Tin, Yuen Long Features - Built in the fourth year of the Tongzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1865) Price per person - Free Rating - 7.5 out of 10 Tai Fu Tai in San Tin is a prime example of traditional South China gentry mansion architecture and one of the most magnificent historical buildings in Hong Kong. It was designated a historic monument by the Antiquities and Monuments Office in 1987. The main building has two entrances and three bays, with side rooms on both sides of the patio. There are one-bay ancillary buildings on the east and west sides of the main building. The east wing has a flower hall and inner courtyard, while the west wing is separated by a long corridor and has a kitchen, side hall and toilet. The location is a bit remote, but the entire area is quite large. I particularly like the ceramic figurines on the walls or roofs, most of which have been retained in their "original appearance". #Hong Kong good places #Outing #Historical buildings #Check-in spots

Visit Hong Kong's historic sites 💁🏻‍♀️ Introduction: The Doctor's House was built in the fourth year of the Tongzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1865) By Wen Songluan, a wealthy son of the Wen family (who was granted the title of doctor) The ancestors of the Wen family have settled in Xintian since the 15th century. They stand out among the simple farmhouses in Xintian. The noble and simple style and exquisite and elegant decoration make it an outstanding representative of the multi-courtyard official residences in the 19th century 👏🏻👏🏻 When the Antiquities Advisory Board of Hong Kong assessed Tai Fu Tai as having historical and cultural value for protection in 1978, this traditional dwelling occupied by two families had already shown signs of decay and structural collapse. The Qing Dynasty historic site Dafudi finally began comprehensive protection work in 1987. The restoration work took nearly a year and included replacing rotten wood and damaged masonry, cleaning wall paint and other decorations, repairing the wooden frame, and re-laying worn roof tiles. The Dafudi is a typical example of the traditional mansion architecture of the gentry class in southern China. It is also one of the most magnificent historical buildings in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong statutory monument: Tai Fu Tai Transportation: Take the 75k or 76k bus from Yuen Long to get there Known as the most gorgeous traditional Chinese building in Hong Kong, it is a monument left by the ancestors of the Wen family in San Tin, Yuen Long. The ancestor of the Wen family was a garrison commander of Chengdu, Sichuan in the late Han Dynasty. He moved to Jiangxi during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, after Wen Tianxiang was defeated, Wen Tianxiang's cousin Wen Tianrui, the ancestor of today's Wen family, fled south to Dongguan, Guangdong to avoid the chaos. #Listen to Hong Kong's historical stories #Explore Hong Kong's historical footprints #Wen Tianxiang #Good places for families #Local travel #Good places in Hong Kong#Good places to go in the hot summer

The Man family is one of the five major ethnic groups in the New Territories of Hong Kong and plays a vital role in the development of the New Territories. The historical building that represents the Man family is none other than the Sun Tin Tai Fu Tai. Dafudi was built in the fourth year of Tongzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1865) and was the residence of Wen Songluan. According to the Wen family genealogy, the Wen family's ancestors originated from Sichuan and migrated to Jiangxi and Guangdong during the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279). They were descendants of Wen Tianxiang, a national hero of the Southern Song Dynasty, and began to settle in San Tin, Yuen Long in the 15th century. Wen Songluan was the 21st ancestor of the Wen family and was granted the title of doctor. The Taifu Mansion is a model of traditional South China gentry mansion architecture and one of the most magnificent historical buildings in Hong Kong. Tai Fu Tai can serve as evidence of the convergence of Chinese and Western cultures in Hong Kong's early days. Its construction, structure, appearance and decoration are all based on traditional Chinese techniques, and its materials include Guangdong blue bricks, grey tiles and ceramics. The roof ridge, with its intricate ceramic sculptures featuring opera characters from "The Generals of the Yang Family", was created by the famous Shiwan artist Wen Rubi. The layout of the Dafudi is two-entry, three-room and two-corridor style. The main building is arranged in a nine-square format. On the central axis are the foyer, patio and main hall, and on both sides are six side rooms and the main house. The attic on the upper floor can be used as a study or guest room. However, the layout is not completely centered on the "axis" and is asymmetrical on the left and right. The most special features are the flower hall and inner courtyard on the left wing, and the kitchen and toilet on the right wing. The two plaques located under the eaves of the hall of Dafudi are engraved with Chinese and Manchu characters respectively. They are woodcuts of the imperial edict bestowed by Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty in 1875 to praise Wen Songluan's parents and grandparents. These two plaques are the only known examples in Hong Kong. They are rare and precious antiques in Hong Kong and are of great historical value. The interior decoration details of the house contain Western style. There is a Rococo relief carved on the doorhead, the windows and doors have colored glass, and they are built into geometric patterns of different shapes. The railings of the corridor on the second floor have a cross-shaped decorative pattern, which is a mixture of different Chinese and Western styles. Tai Fu Tai was listed as a statutory monument by the government and opened to the public after restoration, allowing citizens to better understand Tai Fu Tai’s history and architectural style.

Today I joined a tour group and visited Xintian Dafudi. This Dafu Mansion was listed as a statutory monument on July 10, 1987. It was first built during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty (1865) and was the residence of Wen Songluan, a fifth-rank official. The Tai Fu Tai is a typical example of traditional southern China gentry mansion architecture and is one of the most magnificent historical buildings in Hong Kong. The interior of the building features exquisite murals and wood carvings featuring auspicious Chinese motifs and floral themes. Main Building The stained glass and Western-style floral reliefs on the archways of the passage reflect that the local architecture at that time was influenced by Western architectural culture. #LocalTours#Hong Kong Destinations#Suburban Destinations

This private kitchen has been around for decades and has been relocated several times. It is now located in Sin Tin Village, Yuen Long. This shop is most famous for its ancient soy sauce chicken. The owner spends a lot of time every day to select the special drum oil sauce to dip the chicken. Therefore, the chicken is tender, which can both maintain the chicken flavor and highlight the unique taste of the drum oil sauce. Drum oil sauce with white rice will increase your appetite. Another specialty of this shop is its homemade desserts, including wood sugar pudding, mango pudding, and durian pudding. After the main course, taste the dessert again, full of joy! #foodie #Hong Kong Good Places #Summer Food Recommendations
