Hanoi Road turns immediately into Cameron Road as Z55 follows the girl to a bar that might be familiar to regular readers. Su Ling walks past the Kobe Bar and goes straight to the big red doors of the Cherry Bar at 24 Cameron Road.

Five Golden Dragons - Bob Cummings (1967) - Cameron Road, Tsim Sha Tsui
Here's an interesting shot taken along Cameron Road in TST. If you are eagle-eyed enough you should be able to make out lots of common elements with the following scene from Gambit. The Gambit scene was shot from the other direction looking towards us here, but there are all the same signs for places such as the Cherry Bar and Kobe Bar etc.

Gambit - Shirley MacLaine (1966) - Cameron Road, Tsim Sha Tsui
Well, after following her slowly in the car, we see Shirley's body double arrive at her destination. It's the Cherry Bar and many thanks to Doug Price who identified the location of that particular bar (and several others) for me earlier in the year: 24 Cameron Road (and the Kobe Bar next to it at #26)
The site these days is occupied by a building called the - perhaps rather aptly - Eastern Flower Centre. Anyway, I've attempted to recreate the same angle below with Streetview. Just to be clearer, the old Kobe Bar was situated in the area now occupied by the black entrance to the right of the bank. The Cherry Bar, with its big red doors, was immediately next door under the red sign next door. Sadly both now gone.
