Western Market is just visible on the right of the photo.

Is the taller building to its left the Sun Kwong Hotel? The location is correct, but I don't know if the site was rebuilt.

As read on the upper part of the exterior, the words Sun Kwong Hotel in Chinese (written from right to left) could almost be made out.

Thanks CHM, I've added Sun Kwong to the 'Places Shown...'

The Sun Kwong Hotel also known as the Empress Hotel was completed in 1925.
