At the start of the company, in 1903, Willem Kien started to work for HCHC in Shanghai, later becoming director. In 1921 he left China and became director at the Rotterdam head office.

This photo shows the skyline of the previous photo and may help to locate it. Both photos are from the 1928-1929 album of William Richmond Fell while he was commanding HM Submarine L3 on the China Station.

I've just tagged this "Kowloon" like the title of the photo, as I don't quite know what it is. It obviously intrigued William Richmond Fell, on shore leave from HM Submarine L3. Another photo of same to follow.
