Shek Lo, Grade I historic villa in Shung Him Tong Tsuen, Fanling, Hong Kong.

The two-story residence combines Chinese and Western architectural elements, featuring a colonial front porch, European windows, and traditional Chinese clay tile roof.

Peter Tsui Yan Sau, founder of Wah Yan College, designed and constructed this residence in 1925 on land from a lychee orchard.

The interior arrangement follows traditional Chinese mansion layouts with a central family room downstairs and sleeping quarters on the upper floor.

The building stands abandoned since the 1980s, with a protective fence installed in 2014 restricting access to the deteriorating structure.

During its early years, the villa operated without modern utilities, relying on kerosene lamps for illumination and heating needs.
