Mount Parker

Mount Parker, Mountain summit in Eastern District, Hong Kong

Mount Parker is a mountain summit rising 532 meters above sea level and overlooks Hong Kong Island's eastern region. Two radar domes on top are visible from many locations across the island.

The summit received its name from Admiral William Parker, a British naval officer who served during Hong Kong's colonial period. This naming reflects the maritime and political connections of that era.

The Woodside Biodiversity Education Centre occupies a mansion from the 1920s where visitors discover exhibitions about Hong Kong's natural ecosystems and wildlife. The center helps people understand the environmental relationships that shape the surrounding landscape today.

Mount Parker Road is access-restricted: motorcycles, cars, bicycles and electric scooters need a special permit, and offenders may be fined. Hikers can start from Quarry Bay MTR Exit A via Quarry Bay Street, or take green minibus 32, 32A or 33 from Tai Koo MTR Exit B to Nam Fung Sun Chuen and walk up. A concrete road leads to the 518 m northeast sub-peak with the radar station; the 532 m trigonometrical station stands on the southwest main peak.

In 1903 the Hong Kong camellia's relative Camellia crapnelliana was first found on this peak, and the native Camellia hongkongensis still grows here. The mountain's upper slopes also carry aviation radar installations, and the 1892 cable car that once linked Quarry Bay with Tai Fung Au was dismantled in 1932.
