This particular hall sits in a village called Ha Tsuen and is contained within a high wall giving it the enclosed courtyard that can be seen on film (there are two courtyards within this compound actually). Here is a reminder.
Note the white wall behind the railings in the following picture.
This restoration was supposedly funded by the AMO and was really supposed to deal with structural issues pertaining to the roof and supporting walls. Anyway, this building is a gazetted monument which is supposed to protect it from demolition.
