Why go

Built as a residence for Man Chung-luen, probably in 1865, Tai Fu Tai illustrates the architecture of the Chinese scholar-gentry. A green-brick enclosure frames the mansion, with open space at the front and a garden behind. The decorative work gives the visit its focus: compare plaster, timber, ceramics and glass rather than looking only at the overall building.

What to look for

Plaster mouldings and wall paintings
Carved wood and ceramic figures
Painted glass panes

Useful to know

Use the San Tin location when planning transport; the mansion is north of Yuen Long near Lok Ma Chau.
Allow about an hour for the architecture and decorative details.
