Tiger Balm Garden, Tai Hang, Hong Kong

Found this drawing on Flickr. Can't read the caption, but it looks to me as it shows the garden in 1935, and the drawing is from 1971.

The top pavilion is clear to see (artists love to emphasize certain features), and it's in the middle of nowhere.

Pavilions behind Tiger Balm Gardens 1950s/2020

To have an idea about the design of the three pavilions, I made a collage of them comparing their appearance in the 1950s and 2020.

The ones from the 1950s are cropped from Tiger Balm Garden 1950s, the ones from 2020 are by H.Lo.

Tiger Balm Garden 1980

Cropped from Tai Hang and Tiger Balm Garden 1980 and slightly enhanced.

Inside the circle is the Pavilion (at hilltop) of unknown origin. Bushes and trees are starting to grow, obviously no one cares for this area. High-rises were built closer and closer to the Tiger Balm Garden.

Can't see the other two pavilions.
