Nicely done ~
My first visit was when the American Export - Isbrandtsen SS [I]Flying Hawk[/I] steamed in. That was in July 1963, there have been other ships on later dates. To think, I once walked some of these streets is something hard to wrap my mind around these days.

My first visit was on the USS Reeves (DLG 24) in the very early 70’s. Really enjoyed the time I spent there. Glad you enjoy the vids. Here’s one made in 1970.

I have been to Hong Kong 6 different times. I loved every visit. I have a lot of good memories there. Mostly during the late 80 and early 90’s.
