For those who don't know .... Stonecutters Island is no longer an island as it was "joined" to Kowloon to form a container port, many years ago. Since then the Chinese navy have also constructed a port extending out from the area by the swimming pool and also near where East Pier was. A large sewage works was constructed on reclaimed land opposite the football field. More recently the East Tower of the new Stonecutters suspension bridge was erected on the west corner, around the area of the old MCTC. along with a massive elevated highway from this bridge over towards Kowloon. The bridge and highway is part of the motorway from H.K.Airport via a tunnel through Lantao island. You can ride a bus from Kowloon to the island, but the road is gated and you cannot freely walk any furthur. I haven't been back myself, but have obtained this info. from e-mails to various people over the years and from the internet and Google earth mapping. Be interesting to hear from anyone who has been, or may be planning to visit H.K. regards to All.
