Jinshui Oilfield Dormitories (錦水礦場員工宿舍) - Spectral Codex
錦水礦場員工宿舍

An unusually large wooden dormitory still standing in the vicinity of the former Jinshui Oilfield. It was set aside for single males in an area known as Little Hong Kong (小香港). Most of the structure is still standing in 2024 but it is weakened by rot and termites, and one part has already collapsed.
