Deserted Village House
The small 2-storey village house is almost completely swallowed by lush,
vibrant vegetation. The wooden roof structure remains partially intact,
with exposed beams, rafters, and terracotta tiles showing beautiful
aged patina — green moss and red-painted beam still clinging on.
Rooms are stripped back to bare bones: cracked green-painted walls
are crumbling, exposing brick and plaster underneath. An old
CRT television set from the 1980s or earlier sits on a small
wooden table. Nearby, a simple metal kettle rests on the dirt floor.

Epiphany of Our Lord Chapel Restored
Originally built in 1879 by the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions
(P.I.M.E.), the historic Epiphany of Our Lord Chapel in Sham Chung, Sai
Kung, has been restored in January 2025. It has been deserted since 1990s.
The roof has totally collapsed and the building in very dilapidated
condition when I visited in Feb 2022.
The restoration project included meticulous repairs to its pitched roof,
the Chinese inscriptions denoting “Catholic Chapel” and “Kung Man School,”
(it has been converted to a village school before) and the addition of
new stained glass and artwork created. Ironically, the chapel is
locked up and unused most of the time.
