Chek Lap Kok is visible in the photo. The 'Tung Shan Fat Mun' Pai Lau with major footpath are also visible. Based on the orientation the photo was likely taken one one of the hill tops or slopes closer to the present day Tin Tan Buddha side.
I'm not sure moddsey, it would depend on where Bob was standing to take the photo. I just wanted to make it clear that the image shows the view to the south and not the north.
While reading for hiking routes recently I found there are in fact two such Pai Laus in Ngong Ping. I have been to both earlier today. I will make a new place for the one posted by Moddsey when I'm home. It is sort of hidden in plain sight, but could still be seen from Ngong Ping Road if one knows where to look.

Re: Location of photographer
Hi There,

Arch in the Distance
The Pail Lau or Arch is on the trail to the Po Lin Monastery. I think it could be the arch in the distance in the main photo.
View is SW
This is the same direction as the other photo (https://gwulo.com/media/48168) looking south west. (i.e. that's Guishan and not Chek Lap Kok)
Re: View is SW ?
Hi Phil, is the Pai Lau in the photo I submitted different to that in the main photo ?
Pai lau
I'm not sure moddsey, it would depend on where Bob was standing to take the photo. I just wanted to make it clear that the image shows the view to the south and not the north.
Re: Pai Lau
Thanks. I was not sure if the Pail Lau I submitted was the same but facing the hills in the opposite direction.
Two Pai Laus
Hi there,
While reading for hiking routes recently I found there are in fact two such Pai Laus in Ngong Ping. I have been to both earlier today. I will make a new place for the one posted by Moddsey when I'm home. It is sort of hidden in plain sight, but could still be seen from Ngong Ping Road if one knows where to look.
