“Great little museum for local history with a number of interactive activities. I initially thought this would be a very brief visit, but it's surprisingly bigger on the inside. There's a number of hands on activities including some craft stations for the kids, as well as building of a replica roof and wall. There's many movie clips playing in the background to provide further information at each display. There was also a live demonstration of wood carving on the day we visited. Entry is free.”

“It‘s worth visiting the Old House Museum. The building itself retains its characteristics, and the exhibition also introduces a lot of Hong Kong culture, which is recommended for people who like cultural tourism. There is a Nanfang Park nearby that you can visit together.”

“I love this place! Spent almost 2 hours plus here enjoying the exhibition here. First you enter the left and right room for a video explanation of the history of Sam Tung Uk and the other room is the Chinese cultural events! As you venture into the museum, you will be lead to different rooms to view making of Dim Sum, Making of Mahjong Tiles, Making of umbrella, how lion head for lion dance is made, how the metal letter boxes was made, Chinese calendar making, etc so many Chinese cultural items making that I am so intrigued to know and learnt many things that I wasn’t aware of. A really cosy museum that time flies by so fast! If I wasn’t in a rush to meet up with a friend for lunch, I am sure I will be soaking 3 hours here to slowly browse through all the exhibits. Not really crowded on a weekday and it’s free entry. If you like to learn more about Chinese cultural festival and making of Chinese traditional items, do come visit! I will be back again to this place and it is really a good and fun experience for me. Highly recommend ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
