Description

San Wai is a typical local walled village which is enclosed by grey brick walls with loopholes. Each of the four corners of the enclosed wall has a watchtower to defend the village. The entrance tower and the walls, including the watchtowers, were declared monuments. To avoid disturbance to the residents, the interior is not open to the public.
