Sand Pebbles - Where is that Elephant?

Most of us remember the film, Sand Pebbles, staring Steve McQueen.


I received an Email from Don Whistance, asking for help regarding the movie scene shown below.

Don is questioning where the elephant and temple are located. 

Were these scenes taken in Taiwan or possibly another location such as Hong Kong?








Anyone know the location?


You'll want to go through Don Whistance's excellent, Sand Pebbles web site.

I saw "Sand Pebbles" at the East-West Theater in the Navy Compound while stationed at Taipei Air Station in 1968-69. Great movie ! Steve McQueens uniform was made by Mr. Wong's Compound Tailor - Had a big picture of him in it hanging in the shop. I had a suit made there when I left.
