Tung Lung Fort, Historic fort in Sai Kung District, Hong Kong.

The rectangular fort stands 3 meters high with exterior walls measuring 33.5 meters by 22.5 meters, positioned 35 meters above water level.

Built between 1719 and 1724 during the Kangxi period, the fort served as a defense structure against pirates until its abandonment in 1810.

The fort complex contained 15 guardhouses and maintained a garrison of 25 soldiers from the Tai-pang-hsi navy to protect maritime trade routes.

Visitors reach the fort by kaito boats from Sam Ka Tsuen Public Pier or Shau Kei Wan Typhoon Shelter, operating during weekends and holidays.

The fort occupies a strategic position with cliffs on three sides, enabling surveillance of all vessels passing through the Fat Tong Mun Channel.
