Yu Qiao Ancestral Hall

　　Yu Qiao Ancestral Hall is located south of the Tang Clan Ancestral Hall in Ping Shan, Yuen Long, New Territories, Hong Kong, situated between Hang Tau Tsuen and Hang Mei Tsuen. It was built in the early 16th century by brothers Tang Sai-yin (courtesy name Yu Sheng) and Tang Sai-chiu (courtesy name Qiao Lin), the 11th-generation ancestors of the Tang Clan. With a history of over 500 years, it is one of the key heritage sites along the Ping Shan Heritage Trail and was declared a monument under the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance on 14 December 2001.

　　In addition to serving as an ancestral hall, Yu Qiao Ancestral Hall was also home to Tat Tak School from 1931 to 1961, where children from villages in Ping Shan came to study. The structure is a three-hall, two-courtyard building, similar in scale and design to the Tang Clan Ancestral Hall. According to the stone plaque above the main entrance, a major renovation was carried out during the Guangxu era of the Qing Dynasty (1875–1908), though the original layout and features have largely been preserved. The hall has undergone multiple repairs, with a comprehensive restoration completed in 1995. Today, Yu Qiao Ancestral Hall still retains its classic antique architectural charm, with exquisitely carved beams and painted rafters, and every decorated detail hinting at its former glory. The hall is open to the public from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm and from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm daily, and is closed on the first, second, and third days of the Lunar New Year.
