I originally thought this image was taken in Hong Kong but in the background can be seen part of the former 'China Tonmenghui Macau Local Association' situated in Largo do Senado, Macau. The building has since been demolished and developed into the shopping mall Ginza Plaza. My thanks to Patrick Yip for this information.

Think this photo was taken from the Miramar Hotel, probably 1951.

In the foreground are Gilman Motors, then the construction site of the Princess Theatre, then the Terraced building on Nathan Road, south of Granville Road junction, and finally Telephone House.

Most interesting photo showing Peking Road from Canton Road to Nathan Road (Chungking Arcade slightly visible in the distance).

Right hand side is TST Market, then Chinese Houses, and Ho Tung Mansions further along the road.
