Hong Kong 73 - Yueh Hua (1974) - Castle Peak Hospital, Tuen Mun

Opened in 1961 as Hong Kong's main psychiatric hospital, it replaced the old one on Eastern Street (you will remember it from this) which was repurposed as an outpatient clinic. The hospital is still around on the same site, but has been extensively redeveloped into a much larger facility. The one we see below was quite small. One thing to note though is that despite all the change, the hospital still uses its original engraved name stone with its Chinese name (青山醫院). You can compare the name stone image below with the same one that currently sits outside the main entrance.
