The Chou Wong Yi Kung Study Hall is a Grade II historic building in Shui Tau Tsuen, Yuen Long, Hong Kong.[1] It was erected in 1685 by the Tang Clan, in honour of Chou Yu-te and Wang Lai-jen, two imperial officials whose pleading with the Emperor ended the coastal evacuation, and enabled the inhabitants to return to their homes in 1669.
