No, 16mm sound on film cameras were hardly available at the time. I'm adding HK sounds to silent films, though.

People living on the boats always an attracting scene to many tourists, these small boats are called 'san pan' in chinese, and these poor new territories villagers are no longer existed.

@Gcmy Thanks for letting us know.

@gggu I think it is Ap Lei Chau as the shelter is located between Ap Lei Chau and Aberdeen. If the travelers was standing in Aberdeen, they must be looking towards Ap Lei Chau. ^^

the villages and fish ponds in SZ (shot from border) are all disappeared, now SZ is a 10million populated big city.

A shame too as it looked very picturesque. Now just another city.
