Old Graves in Ping Shan New Territories

Submitted by pingshan on Mon, 08/15/2016 - 04:32

Hello,

I'm looking for photos or other material taken in the Ping Shan of the New Territories before 1980. My family had an ancestral memorial (graves) there, within walking distance of Old Ping Shan police station. It was exhumed owing to the development of Hong Kong in the late 80's or so.

The location of the original site has been lost. I would like to collect more images and information of the surrounding area at the time, for the benefit of future generations.

It then became the Caritas Family Crisis Support Centre (明 愛向晴軒) since March 2002.
