About Tang Chi Ngong Building, University of Hong Kong
Built in 1929 with a donation from Tang Chi-ngong and opened in 1931, this building was designed to house the University of Hong Kong's School of Chinese. It is a symmetrical, three-storey Neo-classical block, with grooved plaster surfaces made to look like stone blocks and a band of Greek key fretwork between the ground and first floors. It now houses the Jao Tsung-I Petite Ecole, which displays the art and artefacts of the scholar and artist Jao Tsung-I.
