In the 1980s property developers discovered the large mansions with lots of land hidden along the coast stretching out towards Tuen Mun (Castle Peak) and gradually they were redeveloped into low/high rise multiple occupancy sites. This mansion with the green tiled roof situated above Cafeteria Old Beach and Kadoorie Beach was used as a film set and painted blue before it was noisily blown up and set on fire around 1986.

The floating restaurant can just be seen nestled in the corner lower right hand side. Most of this area of water has since been reclaimed and built on.

Art Deco style building-Tuen Mun/Castle Peak-1996

This distinctive art-deco style building sits above Leung Mun Road, Tuen Mun. It has been there since at least the early 1960s. In 1996 when this picture was taken I believe it was a Boy's Home of some sort, although when visiting the adjacent roads around it on many occasions, I've never seen any signs of people in the grounds or the building. It appears to have been a private house at one time set in isolation above the original northern shoreline of Castle Peak Bay, facing south.

The tag is just an approximate location.  I have not been to that location for nearly forty years so it practically a blank to me.
