一個城市探險達人進入及關注一個有超過250年歷史的荒廢漁村。
這裏曾經是一個有數千居民的繁盛漁村,有高腳棚屋,餐廳和一間學校,現在已大部分荒廢。 它提供了一個詭異及極酷的地方,到處都是荒野的廢棄建築,有破爛窗戶和大量塗鴉,都被大自然吞噬了。2011年,政府對居民進行逼遷,有些人不情願,讓位予地產商為5000個家庭開發的大型豪宅屋邨。
最近,許多廢棄建築被重新圍封鎖起,拓寬了小徑,鋪設了新電纜——均是即將重建的跡象。
城市探索的原則是除拍照外不取一物、不留痕跡和不公開地點。
An avid urban explorer ventures into and is concerned about a deserted fishing village with a history of over 250 years.
Once a thriving fishing village of several thousand residents with stilt houses, restaurants and a school, it is now mostly deserted. The village offers an eerily cool place full of wild, derelict buildings, with broken windows and graffiti, that have been reclaimed by nature. The residents were evicted by the government in 2011, some unwillingly, to give way to a huge luxury housing development for 5000 families.
Recently, many of the deserted buildings have been re-fenced and locked-up; paths were widened and new cables were laid – all signs of imminent redevelopment.
Urban exploration is based on the principles of take nothing except picture, leave no trace and not revealing the location.
