Occupying an area of about 4,000 square meters, the neat layout looks like sets of mahjong tiles, skillfully put into place.

The poultry cages could house up to 100, 000 fowls. However, they were never put into use.

The cages were taken to bits on Wednesday as the land is planned for a sewage treatment plant.
