=======================

Tung Yick Inn, a old abandoned Inn.

<<< This is Grade I historic building, confirmed on 17 May 2010. >>>

The Inn is at 20A & 21 Lee Yuk Street, the Yuen Long Old Market. It is not open for public.
Yuen Long Old Market is one of the oldest thriving commercial centres humming with business activities in Hong Kong. Being a distribution centre for farm produce of the villagers in Kam Tin and Ping Shan, the streets in the market were lined with shops of various trades, such as traditional inns and wine shops.

In 1662, the market was relocated to here, as the river to Tai Kiu Tun Hui was silted up. In the beginning of the 20th century, land transport gradually replaced by river channel, as Castle Peak Road was connected to the south of Yuen Long Kau Hui, and the river nearby became increasingly shallow. In 1915, a New Market was established on the opposite side of river bank. The old market remains, but is no longer active.
