Early 20th century colour postcard "HONG KONG HABOUR" taken from The Peak. Unposted, but on the reverse is written "X marks where we are laying".

On one copy I have added my own annotations of buildings I have tried to identify by studying other pictures on Gwulo (and apologise for any errors as I'm no expert!
