Taken from about 15m roughly south from the second switchback on the footpath from Castle Peak Road leading up to Cheung Hang village, looking back at 1, Chung Shan Toi - the reverse view from the ridge in the background of Springboard Girl https://gwulo.com/media/33323 if that photo had been taken in Chung Shan Toi instead of Yick Yuen.

Springboard Girl (1952)
To kpl and all the folks here at Gwulo, I love to sing this song in return for all the help you have given me.
Springboard Girl Song March 2023
Adapted from Somervell’s Silent Worship (1928), melody from Handel's 1728 opera Tolomeo (Ptolemy). Inspired by my search of the location of this photo - https://gwulo.com/media/33323
Did you not see my lady, Atop the springboard smiling
Posing with grace and feeling, Adorning the water waving
Oh saw you not my lady, Out in the poolside there
Catching my eye and senses, As I silently ventured there
Though air’s calm and flowers bloom, Though sky’s blue and song birds sing
And though I longed to greet her, In haste I sighed farewell
Fault not these white hairs my friends, Like them that longing’s fading
Still loving all her beauty, A memory just remaining
But surely you saw my lady, Out on the springboard there
Glimpse from those youthful days gone, Still brightens my golden days.
