Miscellaneous Derelict houses, Tai O, Lantau, HK, August 2015

Last of four reports from Tai O. This is around-up of derelict houses that don't merit a report in their own right. The fishing village has experienced quite a few abandonment's as people die and have no children to pass houses on to and due to general de-population.

Cute little abandoned place:

Another abandonment. Didn't risk the stairs:

Nor did I risk this place where the floor has collapsed!

This place has been locked up for some time by the looks of it:

Finally this large place must have been used for some sort of administrative purpose but not lies abandoned:

Fantastic stuff. When I think of HK I just think steel and glass skyscrapers, so this has been an excellent series of reports.

Cheers Mr UrbanX. Most people think that Hong Kong is just Hong Kong island itself - which in the main is steel and glass. But there's all the New Territories and their large swathes of greenery and then the largest of all the islands that make up HK - Lantau - where the airport is. Most people also only spend a few days there when really you next at least a couple of weeks.
