Its amazing that the rain storm water could be so deep at this point as the seawall was nearby berthing the Walla-Wallas. You would expect it to quickly run off into the sea. The Mandarin Hotel is in the background and the adjacent pedestrian underpass was flooded to its roof. IDJ

Part of a wonderful series of photos documenting life viewed from the Peak in Hong Kong immediately post-war to the Fifties. Anyone able to identify the occasion? am guessing it's part of Queen Elizabeth Coronation in 1953, given the other photos depicting the parade.
