Two weeks ago, when I shared my visits to the M*A*S*H production site, I began with this:
Malibu Creek State Park was established in 1976, protecting the watershed of Malibu Creek from the Malibu Dam to it’s mouth in Santa Monica Bay. In it’s previous life it had been a private club and then for 40 years the 20th Century Fox movie ranch. My father and I hiked in the park a couple of times in 1977 and there were still quite a few old movie sets dotting the landscape including a large Chinese structure, some sets for Planet of the Apes, and some western buildings including a fort.
These photos were from both trips to the park, though mostly from the first trip, the exception being the fort site. There is little indication in the park of where many of the structures I saw and photographed 45 years ago were, I had to look at aerial photos of the area(h/t to Framefinder at UCSB). In addition to the now/then photos, I’ve also included a couple of shots giving an overview of the park.

Chinese type of structure, I think this may have been used for the Kung Fu TV series.
