Lam Tsuen Military Bunkers [????- ]

Current condition: 
Ruin

There has been rumor for some time about military bunkers around the Lam Tsuen (Tai Po) area; the road heading up to Tai To Yan is a former military road serving a small facility set just below the crest of the hillside. An old brick building was visible from the Tolo Highway before being overcome with vegitation. Within the village, there was talk about military facilities and recently some one has cleared an area and build a short path to a bunker by the side of the Lam Tsuen Heung Kung Sho Road. Looking further along the road other bunkers are visible.  A quick check of the 1963 aerial photo indicates a line of bunkers, now hidden in the bush.

That's a good find! Are the bunkers simple rooms with a single opening at the front, or are there any tunnels leading back into the hill?
