Hi There,

This should be Causeway Road, with the earlier version of Victoria Park by the right.  There seemed to be an incident and the Trams seemed to be turning around right there.

Hi There,

There is still a Gauntletted Track at that location.  The tram tracks had not change that much along Causeway Road.

The Tram cars stuck there would be changing tracks at that Gauntletted junction.  As seen in the photo, the lead Tram car on the Eastbound track was already getting its power from the Westbound cable.

Sign of the Good View Hotel on the roof there was identified earlier this year, on some local history Facebook group. 

Look near the center right, where the tram wire on the right 'crossed' the building, using maximum zoom. The English name and Chinese name (vertical) could be roughly read.
