The upper left picture was taken in July 1968 showing how the Mei Foo bridge was built over the sea.

 Lower right picture was taken in 1974, showing the Lai Chi Kok bay was still in existence.

 The same area was a park in the 80s before it finally becomes a part of the West Rail Mei Foo Station.

Mei Foo Sun Chuen in 1970s

Submitted by Edmond on Mon, 2014-07-07 22:02
Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1977
Places shown in this photo: 
Mei Foo Sun Chuen [1978- ]
Lai Chi Kok Beach [????- ]

Photo shows Mei Foo Sun Chuen in 1970s.   Lai Chi Kok Bay was not yet reclaimed and people could hire sampans for rowing.  When MTR Tsuen Wan Line was built in late 1970s, Lai Chi Kok Bay had to be reclaimed to provide land for the tunnel work, the underground station and the associated works areas. Additional comments to narrow down the date of the photo are welcome.
