The screen shot below is taken from one of the better quality episodes (episode 9 - The Turncoat) but in fact was used as an establishing shot for multiple episodes (I counted at least ten episodes but it could be more seeing as episode 14 is still missing). It is a shot of the rather colourful part of Nathan Road in Mongkok where the King Wah restaurant/Paramount Nightclub used to stand (right side of image). For a nice colourful comparison, Gwulo.com has a good image here. The current building there is the King Wah Centre that keeps the name of the previous building.

The Road to Hong Kong - Bob Hope (1962) - Nathan Road, Mongkok
More stock footage from this film includes this nice north looking shot of the junction with Shantung Street along Nathan Road. The Paramount nightclub and Theatre was quite a distinctive landmark at the time.
Actually, we were here not so long ago because I believe the building occupied the whole block up to Nelson Street and this post was located at the far end.
