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.

Re: Photo
The photo does not look like that it was taken in Hong Kong.
Africa or India?
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
Could it be Mount Davis on Hong Kong side?
Looks more like
somewhere round Cape Town by the hill and style of housing
Not HK

Ladder
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.
