The caption says Hongkong, but I don't have any idea where this could be - and if it is Hong Kong at all.

Update: it is Macao (see comment below).

It's Macao looking towards the inner harbour. Far right is the lower slope of Guia hill (I think). Or perhaps the camera is on Guia Hill and the small hillock is now long gone. Latter seems to make more sense.
