Rich and Famous - Chow Yun Fat (1987) - Nai Chung, Ma On Shan

Following their near death experience in Macau, the pair take a day to chill out with the family with a picnic. This is the once open, flat piece of land that fronted the Tolo Channel at Nai Chung. We were here not so long ago on a much brighter day (reminder: Story of Ricky), but it's gone a bit wild since then and the foliage here means you probably couldn't drive a car here anymore.

There's a general mist, as is common in Hong Kong around spring time (so this must have been filmed circa March/April 1986 at a guess), obscuring the distant hills of Tai Po north, but the snippets we can see are of the various closer ridgelines that form the southwestern sections of the Plover Cove Reservoir and the hills around Three Fathoms Cove (last image).
