"Fancy a cuppa?", 1909 picnic outside Hong Kong

Submitted by Charles in Shanghai on Sat, 2019-01-26 07:23

Charles worked for Holland-China Trading Company (HCHC) in Shanghai. 
The photo shows one of its first directors, Willem Kien, with a group of friends in the Hong Kong countryside. 

Willem Kien is listed as William Kien on several juror's lists on gwulo.com. E.g.  the 1906 list, where he is shown as manager of Holland China Handels Co., situated in Alexandra Buildings. In 1915, also his house address is displayed in the list: 7 Stewart Terrace, The Peak.

Another photo that is from a group taken while my family lived in Hong Kong. I am trying to pin-point the exact location. Any help is appreciated.
