The first chapter doesn't really have much until the very end, and even then it is observations rather than places he actually visits.
Initially he mentions seeing a small village next to a golf course (we believe it is most likely to be Shek O).
Their ship - the Corfu - came into Victoria Harbour via the eastern entrance as he points out a shipyard and a large factory complex. One of the factories had "Taikoo" written on it.
He also notes a "large cube of a grey stone building" (perhaps the Peninsula?) as well as an "ornate clock tower" - obviously the KCR TST Terminus.
He mentions a mountain looking like one of the lions around Nelson's column - Lion Rock - and of course HMS Tamar.
Feel free to start adding photos and context to the above, don't forget the initial chapters occur in 1952.

<?php
$view_args = array('389,391'); //Term IDs for 'golden boy' and 'chapter N' tags
$view_name = 'places_on_list_simple'; //name of view
$view = views_get_view($view_name);
if (!empty($view)) {
echo $view->execute_display('default', $view_args);
}
?>

Sailing in to Victoria Harbour
The route would have been similar to that taken by Peter Lisle Taylor.
