In 1982 when living in Tuen Mun at what was called ‘Area 20’, I took the elements of this panorama from the balcony of my apartment.

These images were taken from the area of the temple up on the slope of Castle Peak.

As its another 20 years since I took the last one in 1996 it would would be nice to obtain a 2016 version.

Whenever I have been in Tuen Mun in recent times it has always been too hazy to try and replicate these earlier views.

Residents or hikers might be able to oblige?

If tall buildings now block the view, for the purposes of creating a photographic timeline, it doesn't really matter

A side room had this dragon ceiling light. Look closely as the dragon effigy decends out from the ceiling holding the light fitting in its mouth

In 1986 it was not on the tourist trail. Maybe it is now as the LRT passes the doors
