| The Government has funded a rural rehabilitation scheme in Shui Hau from 2022 to 2026, which involves the restoration of the village house at No. 49 Shui Hau, a Grade 3 historic building, and an old grain store to recreate the farming activities and lifestyle of the past. Professor Thomas CHUNG Wang-leung, Professor of the School of Architecture at The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Director of the Centre for Sustainable Placemaking and Urban-rural Regeneration (SPUR), says that the research team is committed to preserving fading customs, folk songs and local stories through community engagement.
