Asia-Pol Secret Service - Wang Yu (1966) - Kowloon City Aerial View

The final aerial shots are taken over the Kowloon City area just in front of the airport runway.

The government estate that can be seen in the upper part of both images is the old Tung Tau Estate before it was redeveloped into taller/higher capacity blocks. The sole remaining structure from this image was, until 2014, Block 22 - the taller building on the corner of the road junction. This has since been replaced by the newer, taller Wui Chi House. However, the smaller building in front of it survives and contains the Po Yan Oblate Primary School.

Directly below that is a squatter village that sat in between the notorious Kowloon Walled City (on the left) and Kowloon City area that is still around on the right. So the whole area encompassing the squatter huts and Kowloon Walled City are now all city park.
