Hi there,

This photo doesn't look like Sai Kung at all.  The high rises didn't not look right.  Unable to match anything in my mind yet.

Hi David,

I could not pin point anything, but I have a gut feeling that the skyline did not look right as the buildings did not add up even if the National Lacquer & Paint Products seemed to be a match.  Would the slide be flipped?

Best Regards,

Thanks David,think ive got a few more to post.Then I will look at the pictures!

Thanks guys for trying to id where this is...I'm only guessing

I think five star may have got it right. Part of a photo sequence as one sails thru lyemun gap. Probably the end of Shaukiwan as it was then.

I've flipped the photo as Thomas suggested. It makes the writing on the factory legible as "PAINT PRODUCTS CO.", which matches the other pictures we've got ofthe National Lacquer factory. So I'll still vote for North Point as the location of this one.

Those three building blocks are Healthy Village, and the higher building should be the Kut Cheong Mansion. These buildings are still existing there. While I was a boy, I lived in this neighborhood for the entire 1970s.
