一位城市探險達人進入一座荒廢的教堂。
1952年,一位神父偕4名修女到山上鄉村建設教堂並且行醫辦學。80年代村民和修會人士陸續遷離山村,政府亦在2016年將教堂列為二級歷史建築。人去樓空,政府在收地後一直沒有加以活化保育,教堂也因而荒廢,非常可惜。
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 a deserted church.
In 1952, a priest and 4 nuns went to a village in the hills to build a church, a medical practice and a school. In the 1980s, villagers and religious groups moved out of the village one after another, and the government also listed the church as a Grade II historic building in 2016. The government had not revitalized and preserved the church after taking over the land, and the church has been abandoned as a result, which is a pity.
Urban exploration is based on the principles of take nothing except picture, leave no trace and not revealing the location.
