This photo is annotated and identifies two halls (behind the bend of the river) as Tang Ancestral Hall (left) and Yu Kiu Ancestral Hall.
Possibly the second building on the right is the Kun Ting Study Hall. All building seem to be located along one road.

Ping Shan District Office
My father was District Officer / Ping Shan circa 1950-52. My vague impression was that his office was on a hill which was also his Special Magistracy. Could the DO Office be sharing the same place as the Police Station?
I visited this station in 1976 when it was the base of the RHKP Police Dog Unit.
