Heritage Conservation in Hong Kong's Mid-Levels
King Yin Lei is a historic mansion declared as a monument in Hong Kong. Built in 1937 by Mrs Shum Li Po-lun and Mr Shum Yat-chor, it is an outstanding example of Chinese Renaissance architecture reflecting design excellence in both Chinese and Western pre-war period construction.
In 2007, works to remove roof tiles and features sparked public outcry. The government declared it a proposed monument, reaching an agreement with the owner for a non-in-situ land exchange.
Declared a monument in July 2008, restoration commenced in September 2008 and was substantially completed by December 2010. The painstaking restoration included approximately 50,000 glazed roof tiles sourced from Guangdong, faithfully returning the mansion to its former glory.
