After a trip to the museum enjoy the walk along the river back to Shatin train station and through New Town Plaza - a shopper's paradise.

There are supermarkets and cheap eats in the Plaza as well as a park and library nearby.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16578 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1975 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1975 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4572
The walk to the house takes you along a path through ancient woodlands, in which can be found many of the indigenous plants and herbs used by the Hakka community for a huge variety of purposes,
medicinal, culinary and practical. Entry to the house is free, and you can wander around the rooms and defences at your leisure.

Farming implements and many of the accoutrements of Hakka life have been built solely for this site. Close to the house is an original lime kiln and jetty for bringing in coral: relics of the cement industry that provided an important source of income to the Wong clan.

There are few of these types of heritage site in Hong Kong, and Sheung Yiu receives few visitors - which is part of the attraction.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4572 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3056 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3056 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2079 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2079
