The Last Time I Saw Macao - João Rui Guerra da Mata (2012) - Ilha Verde, Macau

Well, there are still a few locations that I could include for this film, but I figure it's time to move on to something else so will make this my last post for the time being. It's just a brief shot of a very desolate looking Green Island. If you live in Hong Kong and ever wondered how the Green Island Cement Company (now one of the many companies held within the Cheung Kong/Li Ka-shing portfolio) got its name, well, it was originally set up here in the late 1880s. Once a small island containing a Portuguese army barracks, it's now joined to the peninsula by reclamation and slowly undergoing redevelopment. It's looking a bit desolate in the screen cap below but perhaps something else has been built here in the ten years since the film was made?
