Don't think so, Mike. But your pic does look like its taken somewhere along the CWB Road.

The building on the headland in your photo has a quite distinctive conical-shaped tower which may provide a clue to identifying the place.

Could it be looking across Silverstrand Bay towards Ngau Mei Chau (Shelter Island) the headland being Ngam Tau Sha ?

I remember Run Run Shaw in those days had studios at CWB and built some remarkable outdoor film sets there !

This is how Hebe Haven looked in 1963 - there were even more boats moored there before Typhoon Wanda in late 1962.

Dear Everybody:

I remember that the lighthouse is Hak Kok Tau Lighthouse (Cape Collinson Lighthouse) [黑角頭燈塔]. The upper side of the Lighthouse is FAT TONG CHAU (JUNK ISLAND) [佛堂洲] . Well, the upper position of JUNK ISLAND is a sharp peak that is TIU YUE YUNG (HIGH JUNK PEAK) [釣魚翁]. The left top seashore side is PAK SHING KOK [百勝角]. Therefore, the sea must be JUNK BAY (TSEUNG KWAN O).

In my opinion, This place is in Cape Collinson Road [歌連臣角道] nearby Siu Sai Wan East [小西灣以東].

Thank you for your attention.Best Wishes and a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
