How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
Ryo's first stop in Hong Kong in 1987: a crowded harbour of piers and gambling stalls, where he carries crates at the Worker's Pier to raise money and starts his search for Lan Di.
The real place
Aberdeen is a real harbour town on the south side of Hong Kong Island, known for its typhoon shelter full of fishing boats and sampans. The game keeps the busy waterfront but fills it with invented streets and buildings.
Visiting
Sampan rides across the typhoon shelter leave from the Aberdeen Promenade. The famous Jumbo floating restaurant was towed away in 2022, so it is no longer there.
