The Dragon from Russia - Sam Hui (1990) - Hotel Bela Vista, Macau

Another place that has cropped up a few times on here over the years is the Bela Vista Hotel. It was a tourist favourite in the 80s and 90s and I even got a comment from the old manager many years ago on my old history blog - he tantalisingly asked me what I wanted to know about only to never return. What a pity because I'm sure he had some fantastic stories. The building is now occupied by the Portuguese Consul to Macau and has been that way since the Macau handover in 1999. Bruce Lee fans (who often read my blog) will probably remember it appearing briefly in Ahna Capri's home video shot during the filming of Enter the Dragon in 1973.

Anyway, this is where Yao and May go to celebrate Christmas before they are interrupted by the police.
