I guess this picture was taken at the bottom of Sung Wong Toi[宋皇臺]before it was demolished by the Japanese Army in 1942 for the expansion of Kai Tak Airport.

Hi there,

The photo shown abover seemed to have excessive foreign vegetation. I found an old photo of the Sacred Hill here:

There didn't seem to have anything like that.

Best Regards,

Looking at the photo, my guess would be the spiral path leading up to the Guia Hill and Lighthouse in Macau.

I do not have a replicated photo to show. The path, gardens leading up to the hill can be viewed on this website:
