Description
Lo Wai is located at the west of the Tang Chung Ling Ancestral Hall, it was the first walled village built by the Tang Clan in the area. Located on a small hill, Lo Wai was enclosed by brick walls on four sides. The original village entrance faced north, but was relocated later to face east in order to generate better feng shui. It was also designed to be narrow in order to facilitate the defence of the village. The houses inside the village are arranged in an orderly manner. To avoid disturbance to the residents, the interior is not open to the public.
