Could that have been a picture from 1922 during the visit of the Prince of Wales (Later King Edward VII) ?

Yes, the photo is of the Pavilion erected for the visit by the Prince of Wales in April 1922.

There is a large writing on the slope in mid-levels "GOD SAVE THE PRINCE"

And is the pavilion behind Queen's Pier?

Liz Chater has a good write-up of the prince's visit with a lot more information: http://chater-genealogy.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-prince-of-wales-in-hong...

It says that the writing on the hill read "God bless our prince", and that the pavilon stood where the cenotaph would be unveiled the following year: a short walk to the east from Queen's Pier.
