well, I don't think so in the year of 1967, because of before 1974, Hong Kong taxis did not specify the color. In 1974, the red and silver roof was specified.

The tram was traveling from Wan Chai area towards Kennedy Town. The Wan Chai section is Hennessy Rd, passing through Admiralty Rd then turn into Des Voeux Rd at the corner of Bank of China. To the left you can see the old Hilton hotel opposite the Bank of China.

1:01 is the old Queen's Road East. This section of Queen's Road East went through the naval dockyard (Admiralty) area, connecting Wanchai and Central. It used to curve as you can see at 1:01. In 1968 it got replaced by a straightened new road after the barracks in dockyard were reconfigured. The new road is nowadays Queensway.

I see many Mercedes-Benz taxis on Hong Kong streets during the 60 & 70 era. High time they deploy modern generation models there again ! Am sick & tired with all those Toyota (rather like toilet instead) Crown junk of a taxi being used there in more recent times. In this aspect, Singapore is well ahead of HK by re-introducing Mercedes-Benz taxis some 20 years ago circa 1997 & continues the tradition with the present W212 series 1st world standard diesel model. I expect HK to do just as well even if they can't do better !

This is absolutely amazing!! I am thinking about doing the exactly same thing at this very moment in Hong Kong (Google Map/Street has done similar thing like that, but they are not video). It would become a very interesting contrast. Nevertheless, there are some shots which I have no idea about where they are now, e.g. 1:00, 2:09, 2:15, 2:51.

Because increasing number of HongKong people are furious about how our government demolishes all valuable buildings or sites of great historic characteristics. This is really unfair for people after the 80's and so on like myself that we don't get a chance to enjoy all these.

Since the tram running into Central I thought it was London. Apart from the tramway, it looked 85% London, the buildings, the outlook etc. The Hong Kong government could have done better to preserve all these such as leaving the Hong Kong Island of British characteristics and the rest of HongKong of the otherwise.

Five years before I arrived from UK to work in HK. Every scene brings back memories of happiness. Of course, HK is rich and modern today. But in the 70s it was also VERY attractive. Why? Because the Cantonese people have such a strong, energetic, optimistic spirit. It was really enjoyable to work with them. (Of course, i was younger then,,,,)
@Bouncybon14 жыл бұрын
But HK showed more of the traditional Chinese lifestyle in those days. When I arrived there in 1972 (5 years after this film) traders still used the abacus in the shops - a few years later calculators were everywhere. The people just stopped using abacus to do calculations. But it was quick as the calculator!

This clip is truly incredible, amazing, the same tram route that I still ride on everyday, the admiralty part is cut short, is it possible to get back this part of the ride ? One other question is this short film may be dated in early 1970s because I saw the tram at the turn of the western market tow a second compartment which seem to be available only in the 70s. Could anyone clarify that ?
