Hong Kong Queens & Garden Road Bird's Eye View Real Photo Postcard

Queen's Road and Garden Road were pivotal thoroughfares in Hong Kong's Central District during the British colonial era. This postcard captures a sweeping view, showcasing the city's unique topography with buildings sprawling up the steep hillsides towards Victoria Peak. Prominent features include St. John's Cathedral, consecrated in 1849, a significant landmark of the Anglican community, and the track of the Peak Tramway, operational since 1888, serving the exclusive residential areas on the upper slopes. The presence of a double-decker tram and early automobiles dates the scene to the early-to-mid 20th century, likely between the 1920s and 1930s.
