Excerpt from the booklet "Ping Shan Heritage Trail": Adjoining the Kun Ting Study Hall 覲廷書室 and constructed shortly after its completion, Ching Shu Hin served as a guesthouse for prominent visitors and scholars. Ching Shu Hin is a L-shaped, two-storey building. It is linked to Kun Ting Study Hall by a very small overhead foot bridge on the first floor. Apart from chambers and a lobby, the building includes bathrooms and kitchen. In line with its use as a guesthouse, Ching Shu Hin was richly embellished. The whole building was decorated with carved panels, murals, plaster mouldings, patterned grilles and carved brackets to demonstrate the grandeur and elegance expected of residences of the local gentry.
