There is more information on the FLICKR page where the picture is held. It's basically on the wasteland near to the Eastern Harbour Tunnel (Kowloon side).

I did ask Rob about it but he said he had never heard of it, so not sure if it is some sort of industrial structure or remnant from the Japanese occupation. Various opinions have suggested it may be some sort of grave.

It would be interesting to hear your thoughts.

Is it possible to be the captioned place?

Some said it's a grave built for an unknown person, or that it may be an altar as mentioned in another newspaper article?o

Only articles in Chinese are found.

It looked like a ruin with the tiers the time I was there before the plague.

This one in the picture of a the newspaper looks like the one in yours.

This is an old thread, but yes, I believe it has since been identified as a grave. I'm not sure if it's the one you mention or one that belonged to the Yau (邱) family- or are they one and the same?
