Where in Hong Kong could this photo be taken?
Kind regards,

This is a 1910s postcard with a photo which appears to be from the 1870s (for details please see the Flickr caption). <Read more ...>

Please visit Flickr and read the caption to the photo. It has some background on the work fortune tellers did in China a century ago.
If you can help with translating the Chinese text on the table cloth, I would appreciate it very much.

Could this be somewhere in Hong Kong? Have you seen this scene before?
Do you recognise this village in the Hong Kong area?
Thank you for your reply.
Do you have any suggestions on which monument features in this photo? It was most likely made somewhere in the Shanghai area.
Many thanks,
Charles Gesner van der Voort (1916-1991) worked for Holland-China Trading Company (HCHC) in Shanghai. The photo was made by one of its first directors, Willem Kien, of a group of cricket players, while he worked for the Hong Kong office.
