| U-Hall Feature |
The Rock Lions of U Hall
After someone saw them running freely at night in Central,
the Bank of China decided to send them as a "gift" to
U Hall in 1960's. However, the sport teams of U Hall was
defeated in every competitions after placing them before
U Hall, therefore the Rock Lions were transfer to the
newly founded High West in early 1970's.
The Ceiling Lamps and Dragon Seats
Both of them were the gift from Repulse Bay Hotel in 1967
due to their decoration works. You could discover the
delicate craft works of the Dragon Seat when pay more
attentions to them.
Printing Wing's Entrance
Though the Printing wing had been demolished for a long
time, one plate of wall is still remaining in the kitchen
room and attached with a wash stand.
Emblems of U Hall
Once, we have 2 Emblem of U Hall but now one of them is
lost, the remaining ones is placing in the Counter's cupboard.
The Fruit Trees of U Hall
Once upon a time, U hall was surrounded by many fruit
trees like jackfruit and shaddock, you may take a search
for them, though banana trees are more likely be discovered.
D. K Statue at the Entrance
In 7th November 1962, 4 Castlers "borrowed" the statue
of Duchess of Kent's statue from the Duchess of Kent Hall
(probably in a joint hall function) and placed it at the
entrance of U Hall, and the members of D.K. Hall seems
forgot such issue, therefoe the D. K. statue is still
placing in U Hall.
The Castlers who took the Statue to U Hall were:
Cheah Huong Hee (1961-62)
Davud B, Lorr (1961-62)
Teo Hock San (1961-62)
Ronald T.S. Wong (1961-62)
The "Coordination Tree " of U Hall
Two trees were planted in front of the Warden's Flat and
they served as "coordination Tree", However one fell during
a Typhoon, so the remaining one could not be served for
such purpose again.
Sliver Cup in Dinning Hall's Cupboard
46 Silver Cups was placed in the Cupboard of Dinning Hall,
They were donated by the graduate after used for drinking
Hall Blood (the 2nd time) in the Nazarene Nite, to express
their respect to U Hall and to cherish the memory of the
Hall life. The total amounts of those silver cups were
more than 46, perhaps some of them were kept by Warden
of lost.
Others
There are many other special locations and stories like
"pig slaughtering house" and "lady of the tower", which
should better be told by our current Castlers. |

Three Treasures of U-Hall
Monster Statues standing in front of the entrance stairs
They were standing there since the castle was founded,
their heads and noses are similar to an elephant, bodies
and tails were similar to a kylin (Chinese Unicorn) and
claws were similar to a lion.
It was known that they are cursed and should not touch
them, otherwise students would suffer many disasters.
Golden Spiral Staircase
Founded in Paris by the Missionary, the staircase was
robbed by the Japanese armies and sent to Japan in World
War two, returned to the castle after Japanese's surrender.
Sam So
She served Castlers since the U Hall was founded and got
retired in 1997, she gave much care to all of the Castlers
and perhaps she is the most important treasure for U Hall
