King Yin Lei on Mid-Levels: Admire the Red-Brick Mansion from Stubbs Road Before Revitalisation

King Yin Lei, originally named Hei Lo, was built around 1937 on Stubbs Road in Wan Chai District and renamed in 1978; it was declared a monument in 2008. The Chinese Renaissance mansion has hipped glazed-tile roofs, fine red-brick walls, marble and timber floors, mosaic patterns, and Chinese-patterned iron window grilles with granite surrounds. Its main hall uses a coffered beam system, while the ground-floor west round hall has a concentric radial beam system; reinforced concrete replaces traditional timber roof members. After the 2010 restoration the house opened to the public several times, and it is now part of the Revitalising Historic Buildings Through Partnership Scheme, planned as a health-living landmark and learning centre on Pu'er tea and Chinese medicine. Before the revitalisation is completed, visitors can still admire the exterior from Stubbs Road. Check opening information before setting out; the HKeMobility site can help with transport planning.

Editor’s noteBefore the revitalisation is completed, the main option is viewing this 1937 red-brick mansion from Stubbs Road; check opening information before you go.
