Location No. 3: Repulse Bay - Hong Kong Island - Hong Kong (<Lust, Caution>, < My Heart Is That Eternal Rose>)
< My Heart Is That Eternal Rose> Joey and Tony are going into the bar. Although the bar does not exist any more, I managed to find two traffic signs which seem to be remained unchanged.

Tina thanks again for this info!
I`ve been to Repulse Bay many times, but never visited those places, wasn`t aware of their "history" though.
Maybe next time when I`m in HK we can spend a day together doing a little sightseeing?
And maybe you can teach me how to take good pics as well? _________________ Water which is too pure has no fish. |

Thank Tina for these high quality special photos as always . I'll remember to visit these places when/if I visit HK for the first time . High tea at the pricy "The Verandah" will be a must . At the mean time, revisiting my Lust/Caution DVD is my way to be close to "The Verandah" . |

Thank you again, hanasan !
Very nice detailed photos.
I think "high tea" at the Verandah is the best in Hong Kong despite of what Mr Yee said in the movie "Lust Coution".
I enjoyed everything on the plates.
All the staffs there were friendly and polite.
Has anyone tried dinner here ? |

Location No. 4: Stanley Hong Kong Island Hong Kong (<Fighting For Love>)
Stanley is a town and a tourist attraction in Hong Kong. It located on a peninsula on the southeastern part of Hong Kong Island. The Cantonese name, Chek Chue (means red pillar), is believed to be based on a big tall cotton tree often covered with bright red blossoms.
Stanley is famous for its two beaches: Stanley Main Beach, located on the eastern side of the peninsular, and St. Stephen's Beach, on the western side. Both beaches are sandy and have areas designed for barbecues. Stanley Main Beach is also popular with windsurfers and other watersport enthusiasts. It hosts the Stanley Dragon Boat Championships each year in June to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.
Another attraction is the Stanley Market, situated in Stanley New Street near the Stanley food market. It is an array of small shops and street stalls.

Murray House
Murray House is a Victoria-style building originally built in 1846 in Central as barracks for the British military. It was relocated to Stanley in 1999.

The scene in <Fighting For Love> that Tung Choi took Siu Tong to a restaurant to have a big meal but ended up having dinner in the kitchen was shot here.
