Chi Kee Sawmill & Timber is Hong Kong’s last operating sawmill. It has been processing wood in the city for 75 years. Soon the family-run factory might be forced to shut down as part of a development project.
A worker cuts the wood in the Chi Kee Sawmill & Timber in Hong Kong, Tuesday, July 12, 2022. Chi Kee Sawmill & Timber, Hong Kong's last operating sawmill, has operated in the city for nearly four decades. But soon, the sawmill could be forced to shut down as authorities look to develop the area to make it more metropolitan and integrate it better with mainland China.
Hong Kong residents have been visiting Chi Kee to buy bits of the wood piled high up around the sawmill and collect a small piece of Hong Kong’s heritage. The plan also is meant to integrate Hong Kong, a former British colony with its own economy, more closely with neighboring Shenzhen, across the border.
