Tiger Balm Garden Dragon

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1980

The only thing I remember from my visit is the advice from our local guide. He said: "Beware of pickpockets. I know them all, but if I point on them, they will kill me. So just be careful at any time".

Squatter Huts seen from Tiger Balm Garden

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1980

I think these are the same huts as on the 1974 photo, to be seen at the hut with the wooden pillars (support). Many of them seem more or less unchanged, only the trees are a bit taller.

Deep Water Bay 2 (1980)

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1980

Again from the bus (think so), now between Aberdeen and Tiger Balm Garden. To be seen are Deep Water and some buildings of Repulse Bay as well as Deep Water Bay Golf Course. The red roofed house is Estrellita, 12 Repulse Bay Road (according to 88hk's commen).

Deep Water Bay 1980

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1980

This photo was taken from the bus between Repluse Bay Road/Island Road intersection on Island Road (I believe so). From the view of Google Maps I think the place where the photo was taken is close to the Hong Kong Country Club on Island Road.

On the left hand side should be Middle Island. The island in the back is Zhi Wan Dao (直灣島) .

Repulse Bay Beach 1980

This photo was taken on a bus tour between Peak and Aberdeen. Probably from Repulse Bay Road near Island Road intersection. Its Sunday, and the beach is full of people.

Ocean Theatre Performance 1 (1980)

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos):

The big performance at Ocean Theatre. An orca (killerwhale) jumps out of the water to catch some fish. The audience sits left in an amphitheatre outside the picture, beween water and people is a glass pane. I remeber that the staff let the orca jump and land right behind the pane. The result was a big splash right over the pane, and all people sitting in the first couple of rows became wet - no problem at temperatures of about 30°C. By the way, we were sitting in one of the upper rows and stayed dry.

Rain shower at Ocean Park (1980)

This image was shot most likely from the area of wave cove. It shows a kiosk in front. The island in the back should be Ap Lei Pei, part of Ap Lei Chau. I guess, far distant is Lamma Island.
