Victoria Peak and Kennedy Town skyline - 2, Hong Kong, 1980

Original text:

The small island at right is Little Green Island (小青洲). 

I believe that the smoke visible in this image was engine exhaust from the ferry funnel [no, see below].

Penhahk answered: the smoke was from Incinerator facilities in Kennedy town.

Although only the chimney is visible, the smoke cannot be overlooked.
