Taken on the Praya, today's
Taken on the Praya, today's Des Voeux Road Central.
The sloping wall at the left of the photo is the old City Hall, completed in 1869. The building next to it is Wardley House, demolished around 1882.
Rickshaws arrived in Hong Kong in 1874 (see reference).
I'll guess a date of 1880 for this photo, but corrections are very welcome.
