Pak Nai Blockhouse, a declared monument

In June 2011, the Antiquities Office declared the blockhouse at No. 55 Pak Nai as a declared monument. This blockhouse located in Ha Pak Nai, Yuen Long was built around 1910 after the Guangzhou New Army Uprising. As the area faces Tin Hau Bay, it was a sparsely populated place in the early 20th century. In addition, there were mudflats and jungles along the way, which made it convenient for revolutionaries from Guangzhou to escape or hide. The whole building is square in shape, built with blue bricks, and has two floors. There is a loft between the first floor and the rooftop, but unfortunately, when we visited, the first floor was closed and we were unable to enter. It is said that there was a rice mill and a sugar refinery near the fort, but they were demolished many years ago. In conclusion, the area is small and there are not many cultural relics or places to visit. #HongKongDeclaredMonuments #HistoricBuildings
