Ching Shu Hin

　　Ching Shu Hin is located in Ping Shan, Yuen Long, Hong Kong, adjacent to the Kam Tin Study Hall, and is one of the heritage sites along the Ping Shan Heritage Trail. It was built by Deng Heung-chuen, the 22nd-generation descendant of the Tang Clan, and completed in 1874, serving as a residence for visiting guests and scholars at the time. Many notable figures have visited Ching Shu Hin, including Governor Cecil Clementi, wealthy businessman Sir Robert Ho Tung, and Tang Chi-ngong.

　　The name "Ching Shu Hin" originally referred to a small side room on the ground floor of the building, as the original structure did not actually have an official name. Ching Shu Hin is a two-story building with an L-shaped layout. As a guesthouse, its decor and grandeur were quite luxurious, featuring wood carvings, murals, stucco reliefs, lattice windows, and dougong (bracket sets), all showcasing the elegance of a traditional wealthy Tang Clan family. Although it is a standalone building, there is a passageway on the second floor that connects it to the Kam Tin Study Hall. Due to the complexity of the construction, master builders were specially hired from Guangzhou and Foshan to complete the project. The most recent renovation of Ching Shu Hin was completed in late 1993, funded by Hong Kong sponsors.
