An Urban Explorer Ventured Inside Bruce Lee's Abandoned Mansion Eerily Frozen In Time

It may be hard to believe, but this empty mansion once belonged to the late, great Bruce Lee. As you patrol the outside, it sits decaying and abandoned like a forgotten relic – eerily silent. Was the life sucked out of this building upon the legend’s untimely death? Or did his grieving relatives move out hastily while in shock and leave their things behind? Because the creepy interior is strangely frozen in time. Even the electricity and water supply are still turned on.... 

Truth be told, it was a pretty sad sight. And we can only imagine what the place was like before, when Lee lived there. Something tells us that it was probably brimming with life, given it was around 5,700 square feet in size. Plus the Bangkok Post website reported that the martial-arts superstar had his clan with him when he based himself at the property.

So where could you find this old mansion? It was situated in Kowloon Tong – an eye-catching part of Hong Kong. If we were to describe it in one word, we’d probably say...green. Because trees pepper the entire region, with buildings and houses breaking up the natural aesthetic. It’s quite the blend!

No doubt the Kowloon Tong mansion, located in Cumberland Road, was equipped with everything that Lee would have wanted in its heyday. It had a cool gym, a home office and a beautiful yard to relax in, alongside all the other rooms on the property. A fitting abode for a man of his stature, wouldn’t you agree?

You’re probably wondering when Lee called the mansion home. And come to think of it, why did he choose this place in particular? Following his birth in California in 1940, he eventually packed his bags for Hong Kong when he was a kid. Catch your breath, though: no one buys a mansion that early on in life!
