The Merry Wife - Li Ching (1971) - Jordan Road Vehicular Ferry Pier 2

Lin Min takes his car across the harbour via the double decker vehicular ferry which had a "temporary" pier separate to the main vehicular ferry pier originally built for, and continued to service, the single deck ferries.

This pier has been featured before and was located at the south west extremity of the Ferry Point Estate. I believe it was in place right up until the commencement of the West Kowloon Reclamation.

The Merry Wife - Li Ching (1971) - View from Estoril Court, Central

We get treated to an old view of Central from the vantage point of the couples' apartment in Estoril Court. The only way you could get a view from Estoril Court these days is from being on one of the top floors - views come with a premium these days. This sequence below is a panning shot from east to west as Zhenzhen surveys the view and then sees Lin Min coming down Robinson Road on his way home.


The building is the original "Albany Flats" - a Govt qtrs

The house on the left is the former #1 Robinson Road
(Villa Elegance now occupies that site)
