No history on this place at all. Was a bit of a stumble across having been to visit the fantastic Yu Yuen villa up the road in Long Ping.
This place on Yuen Long Kau Hui Road in Yuen Long in the north-west of the New Territories has clearly been abandoned for some time. I’ve called it Banyan Tree villa due to the sheer number of old trees growing out of it. There was a way in but given the exposed nature of the house’s plot, bottled going inside the place.
First of a number of trees going out of the house complex:

Some serious root-age here:

That was the way in:

From what I could see of the inside it was pretty far gone:

In its time it would have been a fine house:

But nature definitely wants it back:

And the trees have something of a stranglehold on the old place:
