Fist of Fury was one of the very first films shot at Golden Harvest's newly acquired studios in Diamond Hill. The premises were previously owner by Cathay who had just gone out of business. For the outdoor scenes - in an attempt to represent Shanghai at the early part of the 20th Century - the film crew moved to Macau.
The following scene was filmed at Jardim de Luís de Camões but was meant to be Huangpu Park which had a famous sign banning various things including the local Chinese. Of course to get the locals patriotic hearts thumping some massive artistic license was taken on the part of the film makers (by placing the Chinese on the same level as dogs) - the effect was to launch Bruce Lee further into super stardom so the cynical ploy paid off.
The park hasn't changed at all - the gates and gate posts still look as they did back in 1971.
