Operation Lipstick - Cheng Pei-pei (1967) - Sea Terminal, Tsim Sha Tsui

Old readers may remember this post from several years ago that described the "Sea Terminal" in Tsim Sha Tsui - a sort of temporary (from 1962 to circa 1969) point of disembarkation for ship passengers prior to Ocean Terminal being completed. In Operation Lipstick this is the location where Lo Tin (King Pai-chien), the trusted associate of Dr Au, is supposedly about to trade the doctor's secrets but has his wallet lifted by Chan Er (Lee Kwan) just prior to the handover.

Gwulo has a very good image of the Sea Terminal here showing you how it looked. The location has now been subsumed into the Royal Pacific Hotel and Towers.
