Definitely not photoshopped - at least not to a noticeable degree. It looks like it was taken with a film camera, and the wheat up front looks to be color balanced well. Nice photo, by the way. Seoul can have beautiful days as well, but when the yellow dust comes around... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_Dust

Yes.

The picture looks like it was taken from one of the view points on a trail that starts from the Peak.

I think the coolest thing about that whole area is how it's surrounded by hills/mountains and how there are buildings that run right up against them, and even up them.

Does the original photo show Kowloon and Nathan Road, the location of W.W. Chan, for me the most important entity in all of HK.
