Disused tungsten mine [????- ] | Gwulo: Old Hong Kong

Disused tungsten mine [????- ]

Current condition: 
Ruin

Some constructions can still be found in the relevant area, e.g. this two-tier cave. There's another one with 3-tier. All others are small and short dead-end ones.

Further downhill along the trail, there's the ruin of the office with a fireplace, ... the ceiling hasn't collapsed. A group of tanks can also be found closer to the path junction in the south.

A pal said that several decades ago, some villagers told him that there were confrontations between different parties against the profits of the mine. Even explosives were used during fightings.
