Mount Davis Youth Hostel, Hong Kong, 1983

Leroy W. Demery, Jr.  states:

The youth hostel atop Mount Davis (摩星嶺). The camera is facing northwestward.

Note the lighthouse on Green Island (青洲, right). The small island in the distance is Kau Yi Chau (交椅洲). Note also the long wake left by the Macao jetfoil.

Peak Tramway - 3.1, Hong Kong, 1983

Similar to http://gwulo.com/atom/23555, but "This next short sequence of two images shows the Peak Tramway from the same location - using two different lenses. The first, here, is a wide-angle view."

Peak Tramway - 3.2, Hong Kong, 1983

A photo taken from (quite likely) Barker Road. On the left-hand side is a house with a red roof, this is Villa Blanca (http://gwulo.com/node/5603).

Epworth Lodge is right-hand side of the tram station, for me it looks as if the house is without windows.

Text with this image: "The second of two images of the Peak Tramway from the same location, this one using a "normal" 50mm lens." (First one is http://gwulo.com/atom/23556)

Hong Kong3 Victoria Peak_sep1991

In this image Tregunter Blocks 1 and 2 are wrapped in greens scaffold, and Block 3 seems to be gone - only a plaform left.

Just note the difference to the 1990 image in http://gwulo.com/atom/23309.
