Link REIT has announced that the lower ground floor of the Temple Mall North in Wong Tai Sin, which was submerged last month in heavy rain, will reopen on Tuesday, with stores gradually reopening starting next month. The torrential rain, dubbed “once-in-500-years,” flooded the mall while ten stores were forced to suspend business for nearly two months. Link added that five lifts, two escalators, and the air-con system were damaged in the flooding. The two escalators connecting Exit B3 of Wong Tai Sin MTR Station will also reopen on October 31. Cleaning crews removed the hoarding outside the LG floor on Monday to carry out final cleaning and preparation for reopening, as shown in some online photos.
