Victoria Peak and residences, Hong Kong, China

This image has a copyright date of 1902 (if I read that correctly). There are chair coolies, possibly on Lugard Road (Peak Road would then wind up the hill on left-hand side).  The buildings in the centre could be Peak Hotel and Peak Tram Upper Terminus. So the date could be around 1900. 

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos):
