Ein Sarg aus Hong Kong - Heinz Drache (1964) - Muk Min Ha, Tsuen Wan
Another one from the vaults. This is a screen grab from Ein Sarg aus Hong Kong and was filmed in Tsuen Wan - specifically in front of a village called Muk Min Ha next to the Tai Ho Road (the road the car is on). I think this old village stayed around until the 1980s when it was eventually turned into the small section of streets in front of Tsuen Wan MTR station. In fact, the white building at the back (sorry, not sure of its name, please comment if you know) pretty much occupies the space that became the station. The villagers were resettled a bit further up the hill at the back - by Route Twisk.

HiPhil,
Muk Min Ha appeared to be where the MTR depot is, which would be under Luk Yueng San Chuen residential estate. That means, the more morden building may be the place around Sai Lau Kok, where there had been a big protest\demonstration for the relocation just before the land was repurposed for MTR. What's left of Sai Lau Kok is not a small park, under renovation, last time I walked past it.

Hi Thomas, it seems to have moved around by the year (the 1957 + 1975 maps move it over to the west more). The white building is to the west of the Tai Ho Road on the aerial photos I was looking at, so closer to what is now Cheong Lok mansion. But it's difficult to tell the exact position given the amount of redevelopment. Cheers, Phil
