Whispers in the Ruins: The Ghosts of Tat Tak School
A School Born of Community and Conflict (1931-1998) Tat Tak School began in 1931 as one of the first schools in Hong Kong's New Territories, initially occupying the centuries-old Yu Kiu ancestral hall in Ping Shan village. It was a vital resource for the education of children of local villagers at a time of limited access to education. By 1974, the number of students increased to over 700, and it had to relocate to a larger U-shaped concrete building along North-South Road. Despite its importance in the community, the school was abruptly closed in 1998 after 67 years of operation, and the building was abandoned to decay and encroaching vegetation.
