The Shataukok Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall was originally the mansion of the Luo family. Built in 1930 by Luo Yihui, an overseas Chinese from Panama, the large house is composed of five adjacent houses. It has an area of more than 6,000 square feet and has multiple values in architecture, history, culture, and society. In 2010, the Luo family’s big house was rated as a Grade III historical building in Hong Kong by the Antiquities Advisory Board. During the Japanese occupation period, it was the activity base and transportation station of the Hong Kong-Kowloon Brigade. It is one of the few existing buildings in Hong Kong that can witness the course of the Hong Kong Anti-Japanese War and played a crucial role in the anti-Japanese activities. With the consent of the Luo family members, the big house will be sponsored by the Hong Kong-Kowloon Independent Brigade Old Guerrilla Fighters Friendship Association of the former Dongjiang Column, the Dongjiang Column History Research Association, and the Hong Kong Guangzhou Community Federation. It will be co-organized by units such as the New Territories Heung Yee Kuk, the New Territories Association for Democracy and People’s Livelihood, and the Hong Kong and South China History Research Department of Lingnan University. It will be converted into the ‘Hong Kong Shataukok Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall’. The anti-Japanese war history of the Dongjiang Column and the Hong Kong-Kowloon Brigade, as well as the anti-Japanese deeds of the Luo family, have become a special memorial hall commemorating the anti-Japanese war. Opening hours: Open from 10:00 to 18:00 all year round.
