🌎 Film Locations - 🍂 An Autumn's Tale 秋天的童話 - Part 2: Sampan and More - New York then and now (2/2)

In 1986, a Hong Kong movie named An Autumn’s Tale 秋天的童話 was shot on location in New York City. I thought it’d be fun to look for some of these places on Google Maps. In this feature, I’ll be comparing a few movie scenes with the locations I’ve been able to discover today. Exact addresses of the scenes can be found in the description below. Please watch my review    • 🇭🇰 Movie Review - 🍂 An Autumn's Tale 秋天的童話...   if you haven't done so already.

I have to credit youtube user man sang henry wong for motivating the Search for Sampan. Credit to JRinNYC for informing me of the Rose Circle. Although I discovered a shot matching the Belmar Fishing Club Pier, it was reddit user u/ylph who pointed me to the Ocean Grove Fishing Pier.

Further credit goes to Blogfinger for photos of the clubhouse.
What’s with Ocean Grove Pier?
