East Town Theatre (14 Fenwick St) is visible. The Movie "Is Paris Burning?" is on the marquee. This film debuted in late 1966-this is probably very early 1967 in this photo. Also visible are a bunch of Wanchai bars-the Pussycat, Playboy, USA Playboy, Candlelight Club.

Hong Kong Tramways built a power station at the Bowrington Canal. The canal was used both for turbine cooling water and delivery of coal with barges.
It operated from 1904 to 1923. The location was near or at the place where the Sharp Street Tram Depot was built later, probably a tram depot existed there before. Its unknown when the station was demolished, the dates are set preliminary from 1903 to 1924. <Read more ...>

Taken from the Peak Outlook after sunset. As far as I remember, the exposure time was something like 30 seconds - a bit tricky without a tripod. I guess I put the camera on a post, fence, or something like that. <Read more ...>
