I understand that this picture shows a rather imposing mansion overlooking the junction of Peace and Liberty Avenues in Kowloon. 

There is what appears to a postbox - curiously enough there still IS a postbox at this junction, albeit on the other side of the street!

I can see a nullah in the centre of the road leading off to the right, so that should be Waterloo Road. Waterloo Road continues under the railway bridge at the left, and the photographer is standing up on the railway embankment.

So I think this is a view of the junction of Peace Avenue and Waterloo Road.

(Please could you include a link to where you found the photo, so we know its source?)

The postbox should be a utility box. There is a slight bulge on top.
