The embossed printing date on the edge of this image says August 1967. But where is this idyllic place. Does it still exist? The eastern NT is a guess.

Re: Eastern New Territories?
Hi there,
That looks like Tai Long Wan to me. At least it matches the Satalite view in Google Maps/Earth. The portion of the photo appeared to be of the Tai Long Sai (West) Wan as it is a little bit to the west and with a small village there.
The village is still there and was in the news a few months ago when the proprietors of two tuck shops were in an argument of serving visiting customers. The argument intensified into a brawl and the Police was called in to take care of the situation. Don't know how the proprietors fair though.
Best Regards,
T

Thank you both for the location ID
Sai Wan Beach
judging from the angle this would have to have been taken from a helicopter or plane. Any idea who took it? Is it one of Robin Adshead's?

I've no idea who took it, the print was among a batch of aerial photographs I had access to recently. I'll gradually post them on GWULO as they show how much the landscape has changed over the years. IDJ
