44: ENGLAND-INDIA-MALAYA-AUSTRALIA ROUTE: MAP B This map shows the route of the Empire air lines between Malaya-Australia and Penang-Malaya-Hongkong. The service to Hongkong, which is reached in a further two days, branches off here from Penang. The route is over the mountains of Malaya, then over the Gulf of Siam and the flat plains of Cambodia to Saigon. Cambodia is French territory, and the European quarter of Saigon, with its broad boulevards and cafes, is reminiscent of France. Then we fly over foothills and across jungle-covered mountains, until after passing Hue, in Annam, we reach the China Sea. We pass the Chinese island of Hainan and eventually reach Hongkong, where we land at Kai Tak Aerodrome.
