Asia-Pol Secret Service - Wang Yu (1966) - Ching Ping Street, Yau Ma Tei

Next up is Ching Ping Street as the pair walk along the old waterfront at Yau Ma Tei. Ching Ping Street still exists as a much reduced version of itself - a small side street that runs a short distance parallel to the now much larger Ferry Street extension. We've actually seen this road many times before but in older posts I referred to it as Ferry Street to avoid confusion (examples here and here). Joining with Ching Ping Street were a couple of side streets that have since disappeared thanks to the redevelopment of the area into the "Prosperous Garden" government housing estate. One was Lee Tat Street, perhaps better known to those familiar with my Bruce Lee posts as one of the old locations of Yip Man's Wing Chun school, and the other was Cheung Shui Street.

In following images, the building in the foreground was located at the corner of Cheung Shui Street. That big red smudge on the side of the first floor balcony can also be seen in the posts I linked to above - not surprising given that they were all shot around the same time.
