這5棟唐樓5層高,每層有2個單位,實用面積為600平方呎,1958年入伙。部分單位已清空,但大多數都有大量的個人物品和家具散落在各處。 部份被分割成多個少於80平方呎的小單元,反映了低收入人士狹窄的生活空間。

城市探索的原則是:除拍照外不取一物、不留痕跡和不公開地點。

An avid urban explorer ventures into a block of abandoned Tong Lau (Chinese tenement buildings).

The 5 buildings are 5-storeys high with 2 units each of 600 sq ft nett area on each floor. They were completed in 1958. Some of the tenements are empty but most have a large number of personal items and furniture scattered throughout. Some of them has been partitioned into tiny units of less than 80 sq ft, reflecting the cramped living space of lower income people.

This photo shows one of the wooden partitions with a curtain that divides the living room into 4 units.

Urban exploration is based on the principles of take nothing except picture, leave no trace and not revealing the location.
