The upper building is the dwelling house. The lower one the kitchen & servants' quarters. The bathing pool is behind the stone dam in the bed of the stream'. 'Saturday-to-Monday excursions to the Customs Bungalow...were a great resource. Lovely views, cool nights, and a natural bathing pool of crystal water were the outstanding features of those days of delight.' Source: Paul King, ‘In the Chinese Customs Service’, p.49.
