 Exploring Deserted Bungalows at Mid-Levels An avid urban explorer ventures into deserted bungalows at Mid-levels. The compound includes 2 bungalows, built around 1950 and 1980 respectively. One building has 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. The other has a very large living room, 2 small bedrooms and an outside kitchen. Between them is a large, flat garden. Each building has big glass windows that face onto the garden. 2 distinguished artists had lived there and it had been something of an artistic rendezvous point for artists in the 70s and 80s. They became deserted after the owner emigrated in 1992. Urban exploration is based on the principles of take nothing except picture, leave no trace and not revealing the location.

Built in 1919, the 2-storey ancestral hall was constructed with blue bricks by local workers and builders from Guangzhou and Swatow. It has symmetrical side chambers with a circular entrance portal. Stained- glass windows are used above the doors to the main hall. It has been deserted for a while and furniture has been mostly cleared. Urban exploration is based on the principles of take nothing except picture, leave no trace and not revealing the location. Hong Kong | 2023 4 Oct 2023  Deserted Haunted Theatre An avid urban explorer ventures into a deserted theatre. The cinema opened in 1978, but due to persistent shortage of audience, it was closed in 1987 and has been deserted for 36 years. The interior of the cinema is dark and quite spooky. It is said to be one of the top 10 most haunted places in Hong Kong. In 2010, a police officer discovered that a man had hanged himself in the cinema. It is rumoured that the officer heard the sound of footsteps, went inside to check, and unexpectedly discovered the body. Since then, there have been claims that residents and tourists passing by have heard faint footsteps from inside the cinema. Urban exploration is based on the principles of take nothing except picture, leave no trace and not revealing the location. Hong Kong | 2023 3 Oct 2023  Mid-levels Estate Oddly Abandoned for 30 Years An avid urban explorer ventures into an abandoned housing estate. In the high-end residential area of Mid-Levels in Hong Kong, there is a group of two 4-storey, 72-unit units, which have been vacant for over 30 years and uninhabited for unknown reasons. It is rumoured to be a haunted house. This building looks special. But owing to a lack of maintenance and being uninhabited, the wall tiles are falling off, parts of the wooden floors are missing, and it is becoming increasingly run-down. It is ironic that in Hong Kong where accommodation is the most expensive in the world, some people have no house to live in, and there are vacant houses uninhabited. Urban exploration is based on the principles of take nothing except picture, leave no trace and not revealing the location. Hong Kong | 2023 2 Oct 2023  Deserted Century-old Hakka House An avid urban explorer ventures into a deserted Hakka house. Constructed in 1910, the oldest house in the village still survives today. It is a 2-storey Hakka building. The door of the main entrance was engraved with the name. It was once used as a church and rated a Grade I historic building. Urban exploration is based on the principles of take nothing except picture, leave no trace and not revealing the location.
