Asia-Pol Secret Service - Wang Yu (1966) - Kung Lok Road, Kwun Tong

A sort way along Kung Lok Road and Wang Yu spots some derelict ground away from people and pulls the car over in preparation for the bomb to explode. The location of this spot of open ground was a bit difficult to find but I was helped by the buildings in the background that allowed me to pinpoint it. Remember the Johnson Industrial Mansion/Chuan Yuan Factory Building in this post? Well, it can be seen in the background of image 1 just above and right of the white car. The building that occupies the right side of the frame is the (then) newly built "Wah Mei Lau" of the Kwun Tong Garden Estate. Moving left is the aforementioned factory building on Kwun Tong Road and next to that is another industrial building consisting of two parallel low rise blocks. I dont know the name of this building, but I will tell you that it occupied the plot now filled with Manulife Place (348 Kwun Tong Road). The empty space where the car stops is where "Hyde Towers" now stands.
