This is the pair to "Tolo Harbour 1929" that I uploaded a few days ago. It is also from WR Fell's album of 1928-29 and has also suffered damage. There seems to be a railway line following the curve of the bay and a tunnel at the end.

Lion Rock Tunnel is the first major road tunnel in Hong Kong. It was built to connect Kowloon Tong with Sha Tin, an area to become a new town. It was opened on 14 November 1967.

A few years later, as traffic increased, a second tunnel parallel to the west was constructed. It opened for traffic on 18 January 1978.
