History

Wing Ning Wai is said to have a history dating back 400 to 500 years. It historically comprised three rows of houses enclosed within a rectangular protective wall, with an entrance gate in the north-east front wall and four watchtowers at its four corners. While the entrance gate, built in 1744, is still extant, the watchtowers and most of the enclosing walls have been demolished. Some of the watchtowers had new buildings constructed on them.
