Lonely Planet review for Lou Kau Mansion

This well-preserved, Cantonese-style mansion was built in 1889. It belonged to tycoon Lou Wa Sio (aka Lou Kau), who made his fortunes in the opium trade and gambling during the 19th century. The mansion has kept its elaborate brick relief and lattice carvings on the windows, and some hybrid East-West architecture. Interestingly, there is no kitchen in the mansion, as the owner’s concubines were supposed to bring him pleasure rather than cook.
