Hong Kong (series) - Rod Taylor (1960) - Cheung Sha Wan, Kowloon

For episode 18, Double Jeopardy, I'm re-posting a clip that was used way back in episode 2, Murder Royal, because in this later episode we see a bit more of the Cheung Sha Wan area as the camera pans from right to left. Recall from the original post that this clip was initially shown reversed but for this later episode it is shown in the correct orientation.

As I mentioned on the old post, the large white block on the right is about the only recognisable structure that is still around today but what is interesting is that this image captures some of the old So Uk estate still under construction (lower left of bottom image). The estate, quite famous in Hong Kong, has also undergone a complete demolition and rebuild over the last few years or so and, like all new Govt housing, the lower height blocks are now all replaced by new high rises. The footage looks like it was taken from Tai Po Road in the vicinity of the former Carlton Hotel.
