Yellow Emanuelle - Chai Lee (1977) - Repulse Bay Tin Hau Shrine

A popular location for foreign films due to the quirky nature of the place, adorned with oversize statues and tile covered oddities. It took me along to to realise that the large building in the back is not a temple but the training HQ of the Hong Kong Life Saving Society. It blends in well with the surroundings and over the years has served (in film) as a private house and even a bath house. In Yellow Emanuelle it appears to be a restaurant or cafe where Emy goes with her "saviour" following her attempted suicide.
