On top of the latter one, a house stands on the upper section of the round structure.

The row of buildings on the ridge to the left of the Tiger Balm garden’s pagoda is almost certainly the blocks of flats on Wang Fung Terrace used by the R.A.F. in 1945/6 and shown in Jack Cubitt’s gallery in the 367 Association gallery. Andrew
