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 - 3.2, Hong Kong, 1983

Submitted by Klaus on Wed, 2016-01-20 22:56

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)
