Original title: Hong Kong, Nathan Road south of Dundas Street. Taken by Comet Photo AG (Zürich). Dating 1967-1971.
A classic night under neon lights. The signs of Tai Lin Radio Service (泰林), Gulf Oil LPG (高富石油氣), and Yue Hwa Chinese Products (裕華) are all memorable to generations of Hong Kong people.
This photo was taken near the junction of Nathan Road and Ning Po Street, looking south towards Jordan Road. The nearest neon sign in the top right belongs to the first branch of Sun Sun Jewellers, which opened at 331 Nathan Road after 1970.
