Grouped these three houses together as they didn't merit a report on their own but make a nice mini-report as a trio. Towards the end of our Hong Kong trip we moved to a hotel by the Ting Kau bridge that spans the Rambler Channel. There was a glorious view from our hotel room including a birds-eye view of the village of Ting Kau.
From our room I spotted what looked to be a very interesting old house:

Hence further investigation was required. Once down there the place that Google Maps refers to as Yee Yee villa was indeed abandoned and very interesting but sadly it was locked up tight. Hence these are a few externals from the place which looks to have been left empty for some time.

All was not lost however. There was a totally abandoned and accessible house next to it. That one will be the subject of a full report such was its photogenic qualities.
But on walking down to the sea front I came across to other abandonments. The first was this modest family home right on the sea front:

Further along and closer to the beach still was this fantastically decaying residence. There was some serious dereliction going on here but sadly again it was tightly secured:

With its beach position and lovely roof terrace this could be a real cracking place but for now, it remains in decay…
