The woman pulls into a large waterfront property. This is the base of the criminal gang that the killer of Liang Kuan works for. The property is located at 248 Tai Mong Tsai Road and is still around. It's called Dragonara and was recently sold (2022) for HK$181M (that's about $22M US).
The building has an occupation permit issued in April of 1974 - almost a whole year after this film was released. So it might have been newly finished when the film crew used it. It does appear that the interiors are also the same property rather than being a studio set.

Great to see this old house on film. I remember seeing pictures of this place when it was sold.
There are two old house still standing also on Tai Mong Tsai Road, albeit much closer to Sai Kung town centre, Luna House and Hopes Villa. Around the time of Dragonara's sale, I read an interview with the owner of Luna House about the construction and the well that needed to be drilled. Its neigbour, Hopes Villa, has been abandoned and a dead body was found it in some years ago.
Hi Rodney, I've not heard of either of those but will definitely keep an eye out in the future in case they make an appearance. Got a good one coming up for you concerning one of the Customs Pass places we've been talking about.
