Sweet is Revenge - Yueh Hua (1967) - Tai Yuen Fishing Village, Yuen Long

Here is a great example of how lucky a location find can sometimes be. Not so long ago, long time blog supporter, AP, sent me an image of Brandon and Shannon Lee taken somewhere believed to be in Hong Kong. It showed the pair as youngsters sitting in a tree next to what looks like an ornamental lake with some Chinese-style structures at the back. I won't post it here (it was a screenshot from Facebook) but after failing completely to identify where it was, AP had done some digging of his own and managed to identify it as an old HK-style "theme park" called Tai Yuen Fishing Village (泰園漁村).

This park was a popular local tourist attraction located just outside of Yuen Long, not too far from Nam Sang Wai area. I ended up creating a page on Gwulo for it and put in a link to a local blogger (Tere Wong) that had some more images of the place over the years. You can view that page here. Apparently it has been featured in quite a few films over the years.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, props to AP because he has inadvertantly helped me identify the Tai Yuen Fishing Village as the location for this next scene in Sweet is Revenge as the odious Ma (Chen Hung-lieh) harrasses Wang (Li Ching) and deliberately throws away the ring given to her by her (presumed) dead fiance, David (Fan Ho).

The park looks as though it made it through to at least the 1980s before the site was turned into a small industrial estate that now houses a Trappist Dairy warehouse/factory building.
