Hi there,

This beautiful main entrance is already gone and become a shop almost a year ago.  The whole block had been referbished, repainted.  Most traditional decoration had been stripped.  Sort of become a tasteless building by its looks.

Best Regards,

T

It is a pity that the wooden gate (called 趟櫳 [tong lung] in Cantonese) is lost, but on the other hand it is a miracle that it survived until 2010.  I wonder if this was the last one in urban Hong Kong.
