Die Jungen Tiger von Hongkong - Robert Woods (1969) - Castle Peak Bay, Tuen Mun

In a marvelous feat of pursuit, Woods catches up with his target (a foreign doctor who has been administering drugs to his subdued victims) only a few minutes later but in a location that is on the other side of the new territories (you may remember Weiße Fracht für Hongkong achieving something similar, although in that film they walked it!).

Similar to that film as well, Woods eventually gets hold of his enemy on what looks to be the Kadoorie Pier. Again, this scene was still part of the "excursion to Singapore" portion of the film.

Castle Peak Bay before it was reclaimed for development


 In the last picture you can just see  a small portion of Boulder Lodge - the private mansion owned by the Kadoorie family (after who this pier/beach area is named) who are perhaps most famous in Hong Kong for owning and running the Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotels company (owner of the Peninsula) and China Light & Power etc.
