Thank you, Michael, to bring me back to 1977. You took your first shot at the Peak where you captured the tallest building in Asia at that time; Connaught Centre and old HSBC HQ, Standard Chartered HQ, and Furama Hotel on the island side. We only have Connaught Centre kept in shape, but changed the name of the building Jardine House. Opposite to that is Ocean Terminal shopping mall on the Kowloon side. You then have some shots when you drove down to southern part of the island and Aberdeen. Then you switch to Tsimshatsui area around Ocean Terminal. You then have street shots towards the highway to New Territory, on the streets on Kowloon side in urban areas, and toll gates of Cross Harbour Tunnel in Hung Hom.
The scene then switched to the Peak Tower. She was rebuilt. The bus route number is still the same; 15, though. You then drove to Aberdeen from the Peak, where we can see the old Ap Lei Chou; small island facing Aberdeen. With some memorable scenes of floating seafood restaurant and young kids playing foam board in the fishing boat shelter, you went to Causeway Bay and walked along the Food Street (sign board with 'Please Come Again').
You then changed the site to Sha Tin in New Territory, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery. You took the facial description of statues and the famous pagoda of the temple. You also took the scene from temple to Sha Tin urban area where there were many land reclaiming activities, as well as dog bathing in a village; think while you were walking down from temple to get your car. You then finished your footage at the Tiger Balm Garden (not exist anymore) and hill-side squatters next to the garden on Hong Kong island.
Wish this can recall your memory. Thank you and appreciate your sharing.
What happened to Tiger Balm Garden? What is in that area today?
