A City Called Dragon (Year & Chinese title)

The current release year is 1969. Does anyone have reliable info that this is correct?

All other databases agree the HKMDB release date "11/20/1970" applies to Taiwan. I checked the HK newspaper archive, no sign of that movie for that day, so I changed the date from HK to Taiwan. Hsu Feng won a Golden Horse award as most promising actress in 1971, another sign that it was released in 1970. If it were released in Hong Kong in 1969, I would have noticed it last year when I gradually checked the HK newspaper archive for each single day of 1969.

According waybackmachine results, the movie was initially submitted with few data and the year 1969. There's a Korean vhs tape cover claiming it's a 1969 movie, maybe this was the source?
The Korean Movie Database doesn't have information about a possible Korean theatrical release.

Chinese title:
I added a Chinese title 龍城金密圖 from a Taiwan poster, temporarily as Alias only:

Looks like the original title to me, but some sites claim this is a different movie from 1979 with the same cast & crew, which is certainly wrong, but maybe a hint that the title/poster stems from a 1979 re-release?
