Devil's Peak, Military fortification peak in Sai Kung District, Hong Kong.
The pyramidal mountain rises 222 meters above sea level, featuring stone fortifications and offering views across Victoria Harbor and Lei Yue Mun passage.
British forces constructed multiple defense structures on the peak between 1900 and 1914, including Gough Battery and Pottinger Battery to protect the harbor entrance.
Local residents visit the Junk Bay Chinese Permanent Cemetery at the base of the peak, maintaining traditional burial practices and ancestral connections.
The 3-kilometer loop trail starts at Yau Tong MTR station and follows a paved path through the cemetery before ascending to the military ruins.
Pirates controlled this strategic point during the 19th century, using the elevated position to monitor merchant ships passing through Lei Yue Mun strait.
