Why this spot
250 year old fishing village on Ma Wan Main Street, evicted around 2011 for the Park Island development; houses and stilt structures left derelict after redevelopment stalled in 2014
Urbex and local guides document the abandoned village and a shoreline strewn with remnants of fishing rafts and stilt units; glass finds inferred, not collector-documented
