Tai Fu Tai Mansion

Tai Fu Tai Mansion (Chinese: 大夫第) is located in San Tin near Lok Ma Chau, north of Yuen Long, Hong Kong.

It was probably built in 1865 in the reign of the Qing Dynasty. It was built as a residence by Man Chung-luen (文頌鑾) whose ancestors had settled in San Tin since the 15th century.

It is a richly embellished residence situated on a spacious ground, with a large open space in front and a garden at the back. The whole mansion is surrounded by a green-brick wall. It is a fine example of traditional Chinese dwellings of the scholar-gentry class.

3D Laser Scanning Technology in digital recording of structures was applied to capture the 3D images of the structure.
