This photo has been sent to me by John Taylor from his father's archive of phtographs taken in Hong Kong in the 1950s. Looks like it may be Shek Kong in the vallley below. Any ideas Moddsey?

Is the top left the sea, ponds or just lowland?

Just a combination of lowland, farmland and ponds. Maps of the area from the 1950s can be seen here
