The Merry Wife - Li Ching (1971) - Estoril Court, Garden Road

Lin Min has an apartment in Central in Estoril Court. This was the previous version of Estoril Court rather than the current one. The older version was built in the late 1950s and therefore has a bit more of an art-deco style look to it, as was popular in Hong Kong at the time, particulary with its circular balconies. The 1950s was definitely a good decade for interesting architecture in Hong Kong, and certainly a lot less generic than today's buildings.

The first two images show the roundabout where Robinson Road, Garden Road and Magazine Gap Road all meet. The entrance to Estoril Court was directly off this roundabout, the current entrance is in the same location but the roundabout has been removed and access to magazine Gap Road from Robinson Road is now via a flyover.
