Report - Tze Tung Tsuen and Tung Kok Wai, New Territories, Hong Kong, August 2019

[HughieD]

Nothing minf-blowing or epic and more of a wander than an explore, so no specific history here. Having revisted Shek Lo thought I’d pop over to another place I’d previously looked at previously (on old ancestral hall complex). The last two times I’d been here (previous report HERE) on one occasion I’d been pushed for time and the other the light was fading. However on arriving was faced with this:

…which is good. Glad it’s going to get restored and not go the same way as many ‘heritage’ buildings in HK. So hence thought I’d have a look around the local environs. The first village I looked at was Tze Tung Tsuen. Here there are a lot of stone-built houses that have been left and are in various states of decay:

After that, I moved onto the nearby Tung Kok Wai where the houses are more of a shack style and single storey:
