Entries whose own text says something was rebuilt or converted: the place still exists, but its former building, layout or use has been replaced. This is the class most easily mistaken for “nothing disappeared” — what vanished is the original form, not the name.
91 entries in year order — no sampling; every entry keeps its primary source, page number and citation anchor. The classes come from the words the entries themselves use; matching is not an official declaration.
Every entry is citable. Press “Cite this entry” for a Chinese footnote, Chinese bibliography, APA or Chicago note — all derived from the registered source and the generated archive, never hand-written. If a registered source has no publication year, the citation prints the access date and says so.

The classes come from literal keyword matches on the archive text, not editorial judgement and not any official list of vanished places; a match does not mean an authority has declared the place gone.
Each entry joins only the first class it matches (reclamation, then demolition, then village resiting, then rebuilding), so the class counts add up to the total; entries matching several classes are reported separately rather than dropped.
The archive only holds published volumes, so a busy class or decade reflects collection density rather than how much disappeared at the time; comparable records in unpublished volumes are absent from this page.
「重建」「改建」一類入面,地方仍然存在——消失嘅係原貌、佈局或者用途,唔係地名。
In the rebuilding class the place still exists: what vanished is the original form, layout or use, not the name.
The place board counts specific place names only; entries whose place is a broad label such as Hong Kong, Kowloon or the New Territories still count towards their class but never enter the board.
呢一頁列全量條目,冇抽樣:抽樣規則只適用於標籤軸同十年切片,因為嗰兩層嘅條目本來就遠多於一頁。
This page lists every matching entry with no sampling: the sampling rule belongs to the tag axes and decade slices, where the underlying entry counts are far larger than one page.
