Thanks for locating it. Any ideas what the buildings in the background are?

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.
