[2025 Hong Kong Attraction] Travel Guide for Cattle Depot Artist Village (Updated Apr)

[To Kwa Wan] A walk through To Kwa Wan, where the old streetscape remains. This time, we took a ferry from North Point to Kowloon Bay Pier. When you leave the ferry pier and head out onto To Kwa Wan Road, you'll encounter a nostalgic view of old buildings still standing. About a 20-minute walk from the pier is Ma Tau Kok 13 Street. It is a corner of 13 streets, 11 of which are named after auspicious creatures. Also, the Cow Shed Art Village across the street, which uses old brick buildings, is a great Instagram spot. Along To Kwa Wan Road, there is a gas tank belonging to the Hong Kong China Gas Company, a rare sight in Hong Kong. There are local restaurants and stylish cafes in the area, so it's fun to explore them while walking. [Directions] This time, we took a ferry from North Point to Kowloon Bay, and then walked from there. ##Hong Kong's best places to go #Hong Kong #Instagrammable #Walking around

Since the opening of the Tuen Ma Line, it has become much more convenient to go to To Kwa Wan. You can also discover many unique attractions in this old district, such as the Cattle Depot Artist Village. This former cattle slaughterhouse was converted into an art village with a theatre, exhibitions and book fairs. Although admission is free, it is very quiet, probably because it is a weekday. There are not many places to visit inside, and it feels a bit dilapidated. We hope that these historical buildings can be properly utilized and revitalized to avoid wasting the resources that are needed. Next to it is the Cattle Depot Art Park, which you can visit together. It is a large and comfortable place. #arttrip #historicbuildings #walkinthepark

It’s the only pre-war existing premise located in Ma Tau Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The red brick building was constructed in 1908 and had been serving as a public slaughter and quarantine depot in the territory until 1999. In 2001, it was renovated and converted it into art village houses for local artists for their art and culture projects as well as art classes offered to public. The site was Grade II historical site accorded by the Antiquities AdvisoryBoard in 2009. #本地遊 #urbanexplorer #mytripvlog #tripblazers #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #passionpassport #Yuppijeinhk2023 #historicalsite #Cattledepot #Mataukok

The Cowshed Arts Village is located at 63 Ma Tau Kok Road, To Kwa Wan. It was originally the only remaining livestock quarantine station in Hong Kong, known as the "Cowshed". Built in 1908, the Cowshed is composed of several detached tile-roofed red brick buildings. It is classified as a Grade II historic building because it preserves the early warehouse architectural style of Hong Kong. The red brick house with a green main entrance is one of its unique signature photo spots There is a uniquely designed staircase between the red brick house and the Cowshed Art Park, and a cow-shaped photo-taking device next to it. The cowshed architecture mixes the characteristics of Chinese and Western architecture. The red brick bungalow has the layout of a Western market in the early 20th century, the red brick walls have a Western Victorian style, and the roof adopts the traditional Chinese rolling shed roof and Chinese double-cylinder tile roof. It is the only remaining characteristic historical building complex in Hong Kong. In front of the low red brick wall there is a long cement trough, which was the food and beverage trough used to feed the cattle. The bottom of the trough still retains the iron chains and iron rings. The original park went all the way to another exit. Halfway through a platform garden. However it is just a platform with a little grass. Finally before leaving there is a washroom, the male and female dolls at the washroom door are marked with cows, very cute. #HongKong #ParentsGood Places #To Kwa Wan Good Places #Cowshed Art Village

The weather was average today, so I originally planned to go hiking but changed my plan to check in at the Niupun Art Village. I arrived at 4pm that day and there were almost no people there, so I could take photos comfortably and play with the cats. There was a free exhibition inside the venue, but I didn't know how to appreciate it. Moreover, I could only take photos of the outside of the building and could not go inside. It is actually very rare to preserve this historical building in Hong Kong, a place with a small land area and a large population, but it is not being properly utilized. It feels like art is just a superficial effort and people are too lazy to take care of it, so it has no appeal and is a complete waste. #Cattle Depot Artist Village #Good Places for Families #Local Tours #Good Places in Hong Kong #Local Tours

The "Cattle Depot Artist Village" is located in To Kwa Wan. Today, I made a special night tour of the To Kwa Wan Cattle Depot and found that this red brick building complex and courtyard are particularly mysterious. After touring around, I found that there are art courses taught inside. It is the first generation of revitalized art space in Hong Kong. To date, 12 art groups have been stationed there. So it is worth visiting. The artworks in the garden include potted plants and sculptures of flowers and plants, which are all worth checking in and taking photos!

#LocalTravel #Exhibition2022 This time I went to To Kwa Wan and visited the very famous Cowshed Art Village, visiting this art studio🎨 converted from a slaughterhouse🐮 Looking back at the history, this art village was formerly the Ma Tau Kok Livestock Quarantine Station, a central cattle slaughtering center, with a history of 100 years. Later, it was discontinued in 1999 and converted to rent to local art creators as studios The converted cowshed can still see the traces of the past cattle slaughterhouse, first is a very eye-catching red brick bungalow, a large open space in the middle is where the cattle gather 🐂 The Art Village has now become a gathering place for artists, so many spaces and furnishings reflect the creativity of artists.

To Kwa Wan is located in the southeast of Kowloon City. Since the opening of the Tuen Ma Line, the MTR has a To Kwa Wan Station, which makes it easier to get there! The great place in Hong Kong that I want to share with you this time is the Cattle Depot Artist Village in To Kwa Wan! The Cattle Depot Art Village is currently a venue rented out for use as art studios. It was formerly the Ma Tau Kok Animal Inspection Station, which was the central slaughterhouse for cattle. It was built in 1908 and was used as a cattle inspection station and slaughterhouse for 91 years until the slaughterhouse was relocated to Sheung Shui in August 1999 and ceased operations. It was subsequently renovated and split into several units that were rented out to local artists as studios, and gradually evolved into the Cattle Depot Art Village. The Cattle Depot Artist Village covers an area of ​​1.7 hectares and is a single-storey red brick bungalow with a tiled pointed roof. The Cattle Depot architecture combines the features of Chinese and Western architecture. The red brick bungalow has the layout of a Western market in the early 20th century, the red brick walls have a Western Victorian style, and the roof adopts the traditional Chinese hip roof and Chinese double-barrel tile roof. It is the only remaining characteristic historical building complex in Hong Kong and has been listed as a Grade II historic building in Hong Kong by the Antiquities and Monuments Office. Walking into the Cowshed Art Village, the entrance is a large open space of about 40 square meters, surrounded by low red brick walls on both sides. The original walls were used to tie up cattle in the old days. Check-in location 1: The atrium at the entrance There are 5 red brick bungalows surrounding the atrium, each 50 meters long. Taking photos with this as the background is beautiful from any angle! In front of the red brick low wall there is a long cement trough, which was the feeding trough for cows in the past. The iron chain and iron ring are still preserved at the bottom of the trough! As an art village, it is also full of artistic atmosphere. There are some spaces with different text art stacked near the entrance atrium! The biggest feature of the Niupeng Art Village is that it is built with red bricks. There are many red brick houses here, each with its own characteristics, and the windows and doorways are all great for taking pictures! Check-in location 2: A red brick bungalow in the atrium The red brick house is a check-in location suitable for both men and women. Many people like to come here to take couple photos! Check-in location 3: The red brick house after entering the interior The red brick house inside is larger, unlike the low bungalow at the entrance. With the doors and windows, it looks a bit like a small church in a British community! There are benches in some places, so sitting down and taking pictures is a different experience! If you pay close attention, you will find that there are several types of doors and windows in the red brick houses here. It feels different to take pictures standing at different doorways! In addition to the unique buildings, there are also unique flower pots here! Some are themed after nearby attractions, such as Tin Hau Temple, Hau Wang Temple and Song Wang Hall, etc. Others are themed after buildings or plants. They are colorful and each flower pot is full of art and meaning! Here, you can always find some corners worth checking in! The former Ma Tau Kok Quarantine Station was not only a slaughterhouse, but also a place for temporary accommodation and sale of livestock. Mainland livestock would be delivered by trucks, while foreign cattle would be transported by water and then led to the cattle shed after landing.

Two local artists 👩🏻‍🎨 discovered that the cattle slaughterhouse in the past was malleable. The original intention was that the way people treated cattle was too cruel. They let us feel the actual situation of the cattle at that time, thereby stimulating the audience to think and reflect on the cruelty of humans 🧍🏻 to nature. With a cattle slaughterhouse as the background, the exhibition room tells the final feelings of the cattle when they are slaughtered, and uses the four senses to present the most special exhibition room to the audience. Including physical sensation, touch, vision and hearing, allowing you to experience the whole life of a cow until the end. Exhibition Details * Mirage * Date: 21 April 2022 - 22 June 2022 * Time: 11:00-19:00 (Tuesday to Sunday) * Location: Space 1a * Address: Shop 14, Cattle Depot Artist Village, 63 Ma Tau Kok Road, To Kwa Wan #consumptionvoucherstrategy#2022exhibitions #starwritersmaysurprise

The transformation of the former cattle slaughterhouse into the current cattle shed art gallery is really a transformation. It started operating in the 1990s and ceased operation in the 2000s. The government transformed it into an art gallery and preserved the original equipment, which is still intact today. Putting aside all the controversy and criticism🤔, the significance of renovating a cultural relic of great historical value🕳 into a new art attraction📸 is unquestionable🪬. Special attention is paid to preserving the architectural features of the past🏛, such as the red brick bungalows and cattle feeding troughs, and matching the current artworks together to make the whole thing unique. A venue is also provided for artists👩🏻‍🎨 to be stationed in this place, so that the art of Hong Kong🇭🇰 can be taken to a higher level. 👍🏻 Address: 63 Ma Tau Kok Road, Ma Tau Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong #consumptionvoucherstrategy#2022exhibitions #starwritersmaysurprise

#Hong Kong Good Places The Cattle Depot Artist Village is a historically revitalized building. There are different exhibits and special potted plants now, and at the end you can see different art workshops you can participate in. And the price is not expensive, only more than 100 yuan. Unfortunately, many exhibitions were not open that day. I hope there will be more exhibitions to see next time I come. #Hong Kong good places #Hot summer places

The Cowshed Arts Village was built in 1908 and has been used as a livestock quarantine station and slaughterhouse for more than 90 years. It is the only remaining historical building complex in Hong Kong and is listed as a Grade II historic building by the Antiquities and Monuments Office. It was renamed the Cowshed Arts Village in 2001, rented to art workers for workshops, performances, exhibitions, and art sharing. Although there are no exhibitions during the visit, it is still worth a visit. It also retains the food trough used to feed the cows, the iron ring that locked the cows... And there is a lot of beautiful pottery in every corner of the cowshed, and even more a beautiful garden center, so even if there is no activity going on, it is still well worth a walk #LocalTravel #FamilyGood Places #HongKongGood Places #SummerGood Places

There is now a 6.5-kilometer project with 5 themed sections in To Kwa Wan, Hong Kong. I tried to follow the road section three and four, from 13th Street, Cowshed Art Village to the century-old shop Yongxiang Ice Cream Parlour, and once out the door saw the antique T-shaped street sign. If you go to To Kwa Wan, I recommend you to try the Yong Hing Ice Cream Parlour! One of the drinks called nest egg fresh milk, I have never heard of or seen, as the name suggests, is hot water plus half-cooked eggs, mixed together to drink in one gulp. Other than that, its food licenses are full of history and well worth a visit!
