UPDATE: Changed title to "View over Tai Ping Shan from Hospital Road", as given in the comments below.

Original notes:

The title "View from the Basel mission station" comes from the USC website. Does anyone know if the Basel mission station was different from the Basel mission school?

The school was over on the corner of Western Street and High Street (see http://gwulo.com/node/6029), where Kau Yan Church is today. That area would have overlooked dense tenement housing, not the big buildings seen here.

So I'm not sure if the title is wrong, or the station was somewhere else.

Basel Mission Station and Girl's  School were on the same property.
