A detail from a 1990 tourist map shown Hung Hom Bay. On the eastern sideare  two ferry terminals. Although the copy isn't really good, it can be read that the ferry lines on the north-western pier go to Wan Chai and North point, and from the south-eastern one to Central.

The ternimal on the western side has no information on ferry connections.

Night view from the peak: Victoria Harbour and Kowloon (1980)

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

Taken from the Peak Outlook after sunset. As far as I remember, the exposure time was something like 30-60 seconds - a bit tricky without a tripod. I guess I put the camera on a post, fence, or something like that.

Hong Kong Panorama,1970

Amazing (or frightening) how careless smoke was released into the air in these years. Right hand side is North Point Power Station, and on the Kowloon Peninsula Green Island Cement Works emitted even more smoke.
