Inside the four-hundred-year-old ancestral hall "King Law Ka Shuk",
there is a beautifully craved six-level wooden altar.
It was specially ordered from Guangzhou by the Tang clan in 1932
to place the soul tablets of the ancestors.
It was constructed with superb craftsmanship and is well maintained.
During the restoration of the whole ancestral hall from 1998 to 2001,
this alter was restored by Mr. John Hurd, an experienced conservator from the UK.
