Hong Kong (series) - Rod Taylor (1960) - Central Waterfront, Hong Kong

Jumping Dragon's aircraft themed plot means we are treated to a rather nice aerial sequence that takes in the waterfront from Central to Sheung Wan. It was a bit reminiscent of the opening credits of Love is a Many-Splendored Thing but viewed from the opposite direction. For a modern orientation you can look at the first image and spot the two-tone building centre screen. This was the Marine Dept HQ and stood on the site now occupied by Infinitus Plaza (previously known as Vicwood Plaza). The lower image gives a good view of the old Macau Ferry piers. I'm sure there is someone out there who can recognize which ferries were docked at the time, so if you know, please feel free to leave a comment.
