Hi there,

I believe I saw a big pagoda on the upper left., likely the one in Tiger Balm Garden.  So this would be one of the streets in Tai Hang.  Woo Sha Street, perhaps?

That's a bit of eagle-eyed observation! Wun Sha Street is still wide with a few stalls today:

Hi There,

Maybe I was lucky to be growing up in Causeway Bay.  Anyway, using the Zoom in full screen mode with a bigger monitor may help a little bit too.
