Special Projects: Hong Kong 2007 - 2008

   
  
In 1971 Bruce Lee and his family returned to Hong Kong after living in the U. S. for 12 years. In November 1972, after living in a small apartment with his wife and 2 children, he purchased this home in Kowloon with the proceeds of the $25K cancellation clause from a tv series he had developed and was going to star in back in the states, it was called "Kung Fu". July 2008: After serving many years as a love hotel, the house and land have been donated by it's current owner Yu Panglin, a real estate tycoon, to the government of Hong Kong, and it's to be turned into a museum. There is a stipulation: the land needs to be rezoned so that a 25,000 sq ft building can be built. Hopefully this will move forward in a positive way.
     
  
Festival Walk Mall. This was built on the neighborhood where Bruce Lee grew up. In the distance there are apartment buildings, one of which is the building where he died on Beacon Hill Road.
   
  
     
  
   
  
     
  
   
  
     
  
   
  
     
  
   
  
     
  
   
  
     
  
   
  
     
  
Cars are so expensive to buy and maintain that many small businesses use bikes instead.
