Sham Shui Po, looking to the east

Greetings.  This is one, may I suggest, nostalgic and romantic landscape of the old Kowloon.  The person who posted this photo on the internet did an amazing job in determining the vantage point to scan the distant hills.  The inundated area on the right must be the current Mong Kok district.  Under sea water, or after a heavy rain storm?  The farms and tranquility, oh, how this land has changed!

Here are the author's notes translated from Chinese corresponding to the letters on the photo:
