kun yan temple after 1958 no hiill.jpg

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1959

The kun yam hill behind the temple was removed in the 50s to make way for hunghom chuen which was the predecessor of ka wai chuen. One can clearly see one of those government subsidized estate buildings behind it.

On the left of the temple was a maternity clinic built in 1959 which today is a general out-patient clinic. Behind it it looks like the hunghom government primary school built in 1959. By Google map overhead view, one can verify it is that school which still stands empty today.
