Tokyo Gang vs Hong Kong Gang - Ken Takakura (1964) - Tiger Balm Gardens, Tai Hang Road

After jumping in a taxi outside the Hilton, Kirahata shows the driver his destination written on a note and it says "Tiger Balm Gardens". It's here where he makes the swap with Chang before they are discovered by the Hong Kong gang members and chased out of the gardens. The location of the swap is the red Burmese-style stupa that sat at the top rear of the garden. This whole upper terrace area was sold in the late 1970s and later redeveloped into Ronsdale Gardens. For what's left of the place now, you can read about my recent visit here.
