Hong Kong 1930s, junks
Dear reader,
Best wishes for the New Year!
Do you have any idea where this photo could have been taken?
Kind regards,
Pieter
Re: Photo
The photo was taken in Hong Kong. The larger island on the left is Green Island. The bathing pier is off Kennedy Town, western end of Hong Kong Island.
