Lei Yue Mun Barracks

This photo was taken in Lei Yue Mun Barracks in 1971 when the HK MotorSports Club held Hill Climbs there. I visited the HK Coastal Defence Museum last Friday but could not find this corner.

Would I be correct to assumeit is located in the Lei Yue Mun Resort Park, or where the dual carriage road is.

Thanks for the correction.

I have looked at the Google Map and the hairpin corner before the green roofed "Parade Ground" looks right. In that case the new dual carriage highway would have been part of the original course.

The start of the Hillclimb was just above a ramp leading into Shau Kei Wan Harbour, which is the path of the highway.

 

Just happened to come across this winding speedway in my recent visit to the holiday village.  This is most likely the same viewing angle as the old picture.
