Morrison Hill, looking west from East Point Hill 自東邊山西眺摩理臣山的景色

On the left are Morrison Hill and Morrison Hill Road, linking Wan Chai Road and Tin Lok Lane. The latter, formerly known as Observation Point, as it was from this Point that Captain Belcher of H. M. S. Sulphur surveyed the location of Hong Kong in January 1841. One can see in the photograph many warehouses along the Wan Chai waterfront.圖中左方為摩理臣山及摩理臣山道,與此路相連的灣仔道和天樂里已具今日的雛型。天樂里一帶最初稱為「測量角」;1841年1月英艦硫磺號在卑路乍上校率領下,就是在這裡測量香港的地形。從照片中可見灣仔道以北因為近海,所以座落其上差不多全是貨倉。
