Shouson Hill

Shouson Hill, Residential hill in southern Hong Kong Island, China.

Shouson Hill is a residential hill on southern Hong Kong Island, rising to about 148 meters and positioned near Deep Water Bay. From this elevation, you can see across the South China Sea toward the surrounding islands.

The hill is named after Chow Shouson, born in the walled village in the valley to the north, who served as a senior Qing official before 1911 and later became a Hong Kong businessman and politician. In the early 20th century the British military built bunkers and a sentry post on the hill overlooking Deep Water Bay, Aberdeen and the site of today's Ocean Park. The bunkers are now abandoned and run down. During World War II locals were evacuated to the area to escape Japanese air raids.

The hill's name honours Chow Shouson, born in the village in the valley below, who served as a senior Qing official before 1911 and later became a Hong Kong businessman and politician. In 1936 the British king renamed the former Iron Pit Hill (鐵坑山) after him, and the road at the gate of his residence, Sung Shou House, became Shouson Hill Road.

Multiple transportation options link this residential area to central Hong Kong, including the MTR line near Ocean Park station. The access routes are well developed and straightforward to navigate.

The hill's name dates from 1936, when King George VI honoured Chow Shouson, who was born in the valley village, by naming the former Iron Pit Hill (鐵坑山) after him; the road to his residence, Sung Shou House, became Shouson Hill Road. Abandoned British military bunkers and a sentry post from the early 20th century still stand on the slopes.
