Hong Kong's last remaining operating sawmill is scheduled to close down on Tuesday after 75 years.

Chi Kee Sawmill and Timber is among businesses in the northern New Territories that are going to make way for development under the government's Northern Metropolis project.

Our reporter Vanessa Cheng visited the sawmill recently as it hosted one of its last-ever workshops, to see how the owner is hoping to pass on his legacy to the next generation.
