Here's No.2 report on derelict buildings in the fishing village of Tai O, Lantau. The biggest island and the one where everyone first touches down when arriving in HK. Again this place itself is nothing special from an architectural point of view - it's all about the view as you will very quickly see from the pictures. My friends in Tai O gave me the heads up that this place has recently sold for $HK2million (about £170,000). This will before the site and it will be a knock down/rebuild job. They will have to do a better job than the previous builders as as you can clearly see from the pictures, this place has sunk badly on one side.
OK, on with the pictures.
Nothing special about the house itself:

But how about this for location...

Straight out and down to the sea:

The sea-salt has taken its toll on the door:

and the front of the house:

A peek through the windows:

...and a few internals for good measure:

Empty on the inside is an understatement:

But hang on, there's an urbex cat!

...and he's gone!

I leave you with a drain-pipe!
