Kam Tin Tree House, Ancient tree house in Kam Tin, Hong Kong.
A large banyan tree has completely enveloped a stone structure, with its roots and branches penetrating through the brick walls and foundations.
The stone house, constructed during the late Ming Dynasty by the Tang Clan, was abandoned following a Qing Dynasty evacuation order of coastal residents.
The stone structure's original function remains debated among locals, with theories ranging from a Tin Hau Temple to a study room for the Tang family.
Located at coordinates 22.4478113, 114.060734 in Shui Mei Tsuen village, the site is near the Shui Mei Village Playground in Yuen Long District.
The centuries-old banyan tree continues its natural growth process, gradually incorporating more of the stone building into its expanding root system.
