Kohima Camp, Military barracks in Tai Po Tsai, Hong Kong.
Kohima Camp was a military installation north of Clear Water Bay Peninsula that housed British infantry units. The facility included buildings and infrastructure designed to support a British garrison operation.
The barracks was established in 1980 and 1981 as part of a strategic review of Hong Kong's defense needs. The 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration soon changed the political situation and the site's military purpose.
The site later became a venue for The Scout Association of Hong Kong to host a major gathering in 1986. This shift demonstrated how the location transitioned into serving the local community beyond its military purpose.
The site was restricted to military personnel and operations as it served as a British garrison. The location north of Clear Water Bay provided strategic positioning for garrison operations in the region.
The land became the campus of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology after the military phase ended. This transformation showed how the site shifted from defense to education and gained a new purpose for the region.
