Re: Photo Location
Looking East from the Military Sports Ground
Nice match with the photos,
Nice match with the photos, thank you!
The church is on the left, and I guess that's the Ellis Kadoorie school on the right with the flagpole?
Does anyone recognise the three builidings on the hillside? I can see them on maps, but no names are shown.
