    I think the area is Central, the upper photo from the right is Bonham Strand East, Jervois Street, Queen's Road Central.
  • Paed Ortho said:
    Bridget Yu I agree about the streets. The decoration over Bonham Strand East very much resembled that seen for the royal visit of Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught, in 1890. Ref The Hong Kong Album 香港歷史圖片 3rd ed 1986 p.57
  • Kwan W said:
    The arched verandas and neoclassical colonial architecture are characteristic of the city's main commercial district (such as Queen’s Road Central) in that period.
    The tall, elaborate bamboo structure spanning the street is a Pai-lau (Ceremonial Arch) or Bamboo Pavilion.
    The figures depicted on the pai-lau seem to be characters from a classical Chinese opera or historical legend.

    View of Central, probably from Flagstaff House. Photo very similar to City of Victoria, 3rd ed 1999, p.14. Murray Barrack in the foreground. St John's Cathedral on the left. City Hall near the water front in the centre. Only the praya (Des Voeux Road) was seen. Not much seen of the Central reclamation in 1890. So this could have been taken before 1890.
