Tat Tak School, Abandoned primary school in Ping Shan, Yuen Long District, Hong Kong

Tat Tak School is a two-story U-shaped former primary school on Ping Shan Nam Pak Road in Yuen Long. Its central hall, expanded in the 1970s with funding from industrialist Yeung Chun-pui, is flanked by classroom wings around a basketball court, with trees surrounding the site. The building has been abandoned since its 1998 closure, its gate locked by the Lands Department and guarded by security staff.

The primary school closed in 1998 due to declining enrollment after serving children from the surrounding rural community for several decades. Following closure, the building gradually fell into disrepair and became the subject of local speculation about unexplained events. Various media reports during the 2000s amplified the school's reputation as a site of alleged paranormal activity.

The school appears in numerous local ghost stories and has become a well-known site for people interested in paranormal phenomena and urban legends in Hong Kong. The abandoned facility symbolizes the transformation of rural educational institutions in the New Territories during the region's rapid urbanization.

The site is not officially open to the public and visitors enter at their own risk due to structural instability. Accessible by bus from Yuen Long town center, the school sits roughly half a mile (800 meters) from the nearest bus stop. Entering abandoned buildings may carry legal consequences and safety risks from unstable structures and sharp debris.

The school's name comes from a couplet on the main door of the Yuet Kiu Two Ancestral Hall, where it was founded in 1931: "達期兼善,德修於身". The hall was one of the first schools in the New Territories. The site's ghost stories are partly traced to the 1899 Six-Day War, when villagers killed resisting the British takeover were said to be buried on the hillside nearby.
