Playing Croquet

I have found this photo of a group of people playing croquet in 1870's. It only mentioned  "Hong Kong"

From the dresses of the people to judge, could that perhaps really be in Hong Kong.

Thanks for your input

In the same set of photos that is being sold, one photo shows the King of Cambodia's visit to Hong Kong in 1872 in front of a croquet lawn. So it could be Hong Kong but the location is not known. It is noted that the Croquet Club in Hong Kong was formed in 1870.
