I'm not sure where this was on the road but it is looking to the East, somewhere at the Northern end. I have just noticed that, in what might be a vague clearing amongst the trees at the middle right, there appears to be an overgrown terrrace of two storey buildings - military bunkers? There even seems to be a chimney towards the right end. Has anyone got any suggestions? Perhaps somebody could dive into the 'jungle' and see if anything is there! Thanks Moddsey for correcting this error.

On Stubbs Road. That is the upper level/terrace of the Hong Kong Cemetery. A few head stones are visible.

Thank you Moddsey. I hadn't realised that the cemetery went so high up the hiil side. Was the bus actually on Stubbs Road and not the Wong Nai Chung Gap road?

Yes Stubbs Road. Before March
Yes Stubbs Road. Before March 1982 and the opening of the Aberdeen tunnel, the quickest way to the south side of Hong Kong from Central by road was via the long winding up hill climb of Stubbs Road. Great bone rattling ride on the top deck of a double decker bus as it hurtles at break neck speed!
