Asia-Pol Secret Service - Wang Yu (1966) - Shui Ning Street, Kwun Tong

Another jump in geography as we are shown a wide angle shot of Wang Yu's car driving up a slope in front of a squatter village. However, we are still in the Kwun Tong area because the road the car is driving up is Shui Ning Street. At the top of the road, next to the white high rise on the left of frame, the road does a 90 degree right hand turn onto Wan Hon Street. The development (and subsequent redevelopment) here since the film was shot is immense and most of what you see is now covered with high rise apartments. However, the squatter area in front isn't - it was turned into Hong Ning Road Recreation Ground. The camera itself is located on Hon Ning Road on the west side of the ground.
