Red House or Hung Lau (traditional Chinese: 紅樓)(simplified Chinese: 红楼) is a house in a farm in Pak Kok, Tuen Mun, Hong Kong, near the Tun Mun Public Riding School, Butterfly Estate and Castle Peak. The house and the farm was where Dr. Sun Yat-sen planned to overthrow the Qing dynasty.
It named after its appearance, red bricks with plastering in red colour. The two-storey house is of the combination of Chinese and Western architectures.
Adjacent to the house is a garden commemorating Dr. Sun Yat Sen and is one of few places in Hong Kong where the Flag of the Republic of China is flown freely.
