Summary

[edit]
Description
English: While land 'reclamation' in Victoria Harbour was a constant feature throughout Hong Kong's 150 years of British rule, nature's reclamation of ghost villages in the New Territories got underway in the 1990s. Most of the territory's more remote villages became depleted of young male inhabitants in the boom years of the late 1960s and 1970s, as young men went to live and work in the urban districts, only returning on holidays. The Sino-British Joint Declaration on the Future of Hong Kong in 1983 dealt a further blow to these remote villages, as emigration from the territory increased as a result, but the final blow was the Tiananmen Massacre in 1989. In the following five years, a sixth of Hong Kong's 1989 population left for new lives abroad, mostly in Britain and Canada.
