Hi everyone. I am unsure where this photo was taken of my family other than it was somewhere in Kowloon in 1960. Might anyone have any idea?

Date picture taken (may be approximate): 
Friday, January 1, 1960

Hi There,

Looked up 愛日亭 come up with this blog with a photo of the pavilion.  That appeared to be located in Yuen Yuen Institute in the Tsuen Wan Area, up the slopes.

Hi. Many thanks for this.I now know the photo was not taken in 1960 but in 1962. So helpful to know about the background of the Pavilion.
