OK, here’s part two of Ma Wan. History and background in post 1. Before we get on to the pictures here’s a few shots I took back in 2007 when the place was still a busy fishing village:

These are in stark contrast to the place now.

When you get higher up on the upper floors you get a true sense of the scale of dereliction:

Here are remnants of the island’s shrimp paste making business:

Your first shots taken in 2007, the village looks like some sleepy little village on the coast but what a stark contrast as I scroll down. Nice report.
 
It's been sat a long time, I guess it'll eventually become the residential zone once the corruption issues die down and are forgotten about?
