Short comments:

Murals are spread over village houses on both sides of Kam Tin Road, without fixed areas nor signs, so you can only slowly look for murals along village roads, which are narrow, and relatively difficult to be passed by wheelchair users.

Kat Hing Wai is located nearby Yuen Long Kam Tin Road in Yuen Long district, and is best known for the iron gates of Kat Hing Wai. In 1899, when the British forces took over the “New Territories”, the inhabitants of Kam Tin took Kat Hing Wai as a stronghold to wage bloody battles against the British forces, until in the end, the inhabitants closed the iron gates to defend the position to the last. After the British forces occupied Kat Hing Wai, the soldiers dismantled the iron gates and ship them back to Britain to exhibit as booties. Through many years of endeavour by the inhabitants of Kat Hing Wai, eventually the iron gates were shipped back to Hong Kong in 1925, and now the gates remain in Kat Hing Wai, with the stone tablet beside the gates to record the event.

Due to the pandemic, Kat Hing Wai is not opened to tourists, so you can only read the introduction board outside the doors, but cannot go inside for tour.

Hint:

There are no dropped kerbs on the footways for entering Kat Hing Wai, so wheelchair users need to get down from the footways and move forward before reaching the positions of the traffic lights.

Located in Shui Mei Tsuen, Kam Tin Tree House has the unique feature that a huge old banyan tree with complex structure surrounds a stone cottage. On the stone cottage, nowadays there remain only some brick walls and granite door frames, all of which are enclosed by the banyan tree, but the posture of the banyan tree still shows that originally there was a square stone cottage. According to legend, the cottage owner was forced to migrate away due to a coastal evacuation decree. After the stone cottage fell into disuse, it has been surrounded by the grown banyan tree, becoming the current posture, which is spectacular.

Short comments: 

The playground nearby has an introduction board to briefly introduce the tree house. With guard bars additionally built outside the tree house, tourists are forbidden to contact the structure of the tree house.

Hint:

The village roads of Shui Tau Tsuen and Shui Mei Tsuen are quite complex, and tourists often need to ask the way from villagers. It is suggested that you go straight along Shui Tau Road toward the right of Yi Tai Study Hall, and after you reach Tin Hau Temple and Shui Mei Village Office, you can see a pond, where there are signs to show the direction of the tree house. If you go forward along Shui Tau Road from the left, you need to pass village roads, with many crushed stones and without dropped kerbs, so this route is not suggested.

Located in Shui Tau Tsuen as well, Chou Wong Yi Kung Study Hall was erected during the reign of Kangxi in the Qing dynasty to commemorate the two officials of Guangdong, Chou Yu-te and Wang Lai-jen, who performed meritorious service for pleading with the Emperor to abolish the coastal evacuation decree. In the early Qing dynasty, the coastal evacuation decree was carried out, so coastal inhabitants needed to migrate to inland for inhabitation, making them destitute and homeless, involving the then Hong Kong people. Later the two officials, Chou and Wang, submitted memorials to the throne to actively state the drawbacks of the coastal evacuation decree, making the Qing court eventually repeal the decree, so to express their gratitude to the two officials, the inhabitants of Kam Tin built Chou Wong Yi Kung Study Hall. Till now, Cheung Chau Bun Festival that is held once every decade in Kam Tin takes place in front of Chou Wong Yi Kung Study Hall.

In Kam Tin, there are many village houses, village roads are narrow and uneven, roads also lack dropped kerbs, so wheelchair users need to move on roads, and must pay attention to vehicles from both directions. The scenic spot is located inside the village, almost without signs available along roads, so it is suggested to ask the way along roads from villagers to look for practicable routes. Shui Tau Road has a single lane, so when you move along the road, you need to be careful about vehicles coming from the front and back.

From Kat Hing Wai to Yi Tai Study Hall, you need to make a detour through Kam Tin, for which wheelchair users must cross the road, because in the nearby pedestrian tunnel, there is a stone step at the exit close to the north, making wheelchair users unable to pass the tunnel.
