I can fix this foto to be a scene of the inner harbour of Macau, b'cause I recognised the background is my family's home town-Zhuhai.

most definitely what is called the 'inner harbour' i lived 500m up the road to the left in 77/78. by then we had the 'outer harbour' where the jetfoils and hydrofoils moored. the big ferries still came here. the hills behind are china. i never set foot there even though i lived 19 years on its doorstep!

Thanx to Dave's comment below, we now know for certain that this is the Macao Harbor

This is definitely Macau. I have some old photos of almost the same spot. I took many HK photos in the 1965-1967 period too. Dave

I think this is Yuen Long, another fishing community, this time in the New Territories. I'm not 100% sure so I'll e-mail this to my mother and see if she remembers ! Another beautiful shot.
