The photo I have posted up is an original photo from a 1910s album. All photos in the album are about old Hong Kong pictures. I wonder if anyone has any ideas on where this picture was taken.

Somewhere in Hong Kong

The photo does not look like that it was taken in Hong Kong.

Yes, I saw that on E-Bay a while ago, It looks like a picture that was taken on the way to Hong Kong, as a complete guess I would say South Africa.

Could it be Mount Davis on Hong Kong side?

I climbed that staircase once or twice myself when I stayed on the island for a few months in 1998. There are railings on either side, and kids used to slide all the way down on their way home from the school at the top.
