A photo with more detailed description. It says "King Kalakaua of Hawaii visited Hong Kong in 1881 and attended a lunch at Paul Chater's bungalow in Kowloon. Afterwards photographs were taken in the garden, Paul Chater seen here with the King and other guests". Present here were Paul Chater, governor John Hennessy, the king and members of legislative council.

The King was entertained at tiffin on 18 April at Mr. C. P. Chater's Kowloong (sic) bungalow. A photograph of the luncheon party was taken from the Tennis Lawn. The China Mail dated the same day refers.

In 1881, King Kalākaua left Hawaiʻi on a trip around the world to study the matter of immigration and to improve foreign relations. He also wanted to study how other rulers ruled. In his absence, his sister and heir, Princess Liliʻuokalani, ruled as regent (Prince Leleiohoku, the former heir, had died in 1877). The king first traveled to San Francisco where he was given a royal welcome. Then he sailed to the Empire of Japan where he met with the Meiji Emperor. He continued through Qing Dynasty China, Siam under King Chulalongkorn (Rama V), Burma, British Raj India, Egypt, Italy, Belgium, the German Empire, Austria-Hungary, the French Third Republic, Spain, Portugal, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and back through the United States before returning to Hawaiʻi.
