Hong Kong (series) - Rod Taylor (1960) - Garden Road, Central

There is a much longer garden Road sequence later in the show when the two main characters are being followed in their car by the bad guys. The first part of the sequence takes us past the former Murray Barracks building. This is its original location at the lower end of Garden Road before being packed away and semi-reassembled over in Stanley (no, it wasn't rebuilt brick by brick. A concrete core was poured and the external verandahs were reattached to make it appear it was rebuilt - typical Govt 'heritage' smoke screen). This spot is now occupied by the I.M Pei Bank of China Tower. 


There is then a shot of cars driving up what could be Garden Road, but actually, I can't confirm, so instead I'll end on this shot of the section where Garden Road turns abruptly up the hill and becomes magazine Gap Road. There was a very similar angle used previously in this show, but on subsequent examination you can see the angle is not the same as the previous post.
