Asia-Pol Secret Service - Wang Yu (1966) - Travessa do Colégio, Macau

The car chase leaves Estrada da Santa Sancha and appears on Travessa do Colégio. At the junction, Yang turns his car right onto Rua da Penha. Sadly, the rather spectacular tree that can be seen at the junction has long gone and, to be honest, the place looks like a bit of a building site on Streetview (I'm unable to visit to know what the location is like at the current time). There's the hint of a large building on a hill in the background (with red pillars, top right second image) but that area now is just one big massive hole so it looks like the whole place was excavated.

Edit: I subsequently found out that the building with the red pillars in the background of image two was the former Carmelite Convent. Apparently it was demolished in the 1970s.
