Top photo is Houses on the peak in clouds from 1980
Bottom photo is from 2017

Quite unusual for Hong Kong - not too many changes in 37 years.

The square looking building left is Vivian Court from 1961, the larger one to the right is Kellett Heights from 1965.
Building bottom right is Chelsea Court, built in 2001 - that's a new one!
