Thank you for the rest of the pictures!

It's amusing to see your practicing in the park.
Also, you're lucky that you were able to find the construction site. :lol:

Nice & beautiful Locations,
I love Japanese and Chinese locations a lot!
So I wish someday I can visit these countries from near.

Thanks for posting them.

This looks exactly like the signs you see before entering different districts.

This looks so much like the view of the city you can see by pigeon park (i think) at night.

Wow...those pics were absolutely incredible. Some were so similar to the game, especially the ones reminiscent (or actually) of Yamanose. Maybe its just me but these real life locations of the game seem mythical and fantastic. I've got to visit them one day. Thank you for the pics.

Is anyone interested in "the Real Yokosuka" live report by French-speaking guys?

Sorry should have been more clear ..the mountain are not present in the video but the walled city of kowloon was named after the nick name mountain peaks near it and they hold the name "nine dragons"

EDIT: Also the king at the time itself it seems.

"The name Kowloon came from the nine dragons represented by the eight peaks (1. Kowloon Peak, 2. Tung Shan, 3.Tate's Cairn, 4. Temple Hill, 5. Unicorn Ridge, 6. Lion Rock, 7. Beacon Hill, 8. Crow's Nest) and the ninth being Emperor Bing himself."

It was just a random fact I thought was cool to throw in the initial post.

Oh, I see. Thank you for the explanation!

You might have to make it clear, though, that Kowloon is the name for the rather vast area,
not just for the "Walled City," I think.

Anyway, Kowloon is written as "九龍" in Chinese. The first letter "九" means "nine," and
the second letter "龍" means "dragon" as many of you must have learned by now. ;)

Besides that info, Wikipedia gives you this beautiful picture of "Lion Rock," doesn't it?
