Asia-Pol Secret Service - Wang Yu (1966) - Hong Ning Road, Kwun Tong

The previous post of Shui Ning Street was viewed from the vantage point of the location of this next post - Hong Ning Road. All that has happened is that the camera has turned 90 degrees to the right so it is now pointed down Hong Ning Road as Wang Yu's car drives up. As you can see in the second image, the car takes the left hand turn onto Kung Lok Road. The buildings on the corner block here (Hong Ning Building and its neighbour the Tung Ming Building) are still around, so this view is very similar today - apart from slightly more development down the hill. I'm not sure what the gold cross was for but Hong Kong is a very religious organisation-dominated place so it was probably either a church or church-run school (most local schools in HK are religiously affiliated due to the Colonial Govt's policy of gifting parcels of land to them on the proviso that they set up a school on it).
