https://gwulo.com/atom/19892 a request was made some time ago to identify the location on a film clip

possibly Kadoorie brothers Boulder Lodge Mansion entrance adjacent to Kadoorie Beach

 

The granite block construction of gate pillars and walls appear to be the same.

The drive goes up a hill in both images

The public road veers off to the right in both images, in 2014 to Kadoorie Pier.

My image was taken in November 2014
