Cheung Sha Wan Abattoir, Former slaughterhouse in Sham Shui Po District, Hong Kong.

The Cheung Sha Wan Abattoir facility occupied a substantial area along Lai Chi Kok Road and Tung Chau Street in Hong Kong's industrial sector.

Established in 1969, the Urban Services Department operated this meat processing center until 1973, when management transferred to the Urban Council until 1999.

The facility gained local attention in 1983 when workers reported a water buffalo displaying emotional reactions, leading them to release it into the wild.

The building remains inaccessible to the public, with security personnel maintaining constant surveillance of the perimeter.

Initial plans to transform the facility into an arts center were abandoned following concerns from artists about unexplained occurrences within the structure.
