Lo Pan Temple (Kennedy Town) and the Residence of businessman Tang Pak-kau (Kam Tin, Yuen Long) were declared monuments under the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance

(GovHK caption) The Government gazetted today (October 10) the declaration of Lo Pan Temple in Kennedy Town as a monument under the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance. Photo shows the front façade of the temple. (Address) 15 Ching Lin Terrace, Kennedy Town (Descriptive text from ChatGPT) The image shows the exterior of an old Chinese temple, situated among modern residential buildings in Hong Kong. The temple features traditional architectural elements, such as a grey brick façade, ornate decorative carvings, and a tiled roof with upward-curving eaves. Two red lanterns hang above the entrance, which is framed by stone pillars and decorated with gold Chinese characters. Potted plants are placed symmetrically on either side of the entrance, and a small stone plaque with inscriptions stands in front. The surrounding high-rise buildings provide a striking contrast to the historical and cultural aesthetic of the temple. (Reviewed by @kjoules)
(GovHK caption) The Government gazetted today (October 10) the declaration of the Residence of Tang Pak Kau in Kam Tin, Yuen Long, as a monument under the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance. Photo shows the light well behind the main entrance of the residence with Tuscan columns and arch. (Descriptive text from ChatGPT) The image shows the interior of an old, dilapidated building featuring a weathered, classical architectural style. The space includes two white columns supporting an archway with decorative ironwork above. The walls and ceiling are visibly aged, with patches of peeling paint and exposed brickwork, revealing the structure’s historic nature. The floor is rough, and a small wooden table is placed in the foreground. At the back of the room, there are double wooden doors, partially open, leading outside. The scene suggests a neglected yet historically significant structure, possibly awaiting restoration. (Reviewed by @kjoules) (Google Maps search) 錦田祠塘村20號鄧伯裘故居

That explains why the Lo Pan recently got a fresh coat of paint and flags on Pok Fu Lam Road.

Incidentally, I'm starting to add more descriptive ALT text in photos which are generated by ChatGPT-4o and which I will review and edit before posting. Let me know what you think
