Hi there,

Good find.  In the photo also were some of the Tong Shui Road Tai Pai Dongs.  They remained until making way for the construction of the off ramp of Island Eastern Corridor there.  The Dai Pai Dongs used to go along until very close to the water front, where the North Point Eatate Western Block used to be.

The North Point Tram Terminus is also visible, but the Tram company hut is gone and replaced by a new one under the foot bridge.

I really miss the Dai Pai Dongs.

Best Regards,

T
