Mount Gough, Mountain peak in Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong

Mount Gough is a peak on Hong Kong Island rising 479 metres above Admiralty, directly east of Victoria Peak. Its summit is occupied by a housing complex and is not open to the public. The Chinese name is 歌賦山, named for Hugh Gough, 1st Viscount Gough.

The peak was named after Hugh Gough, a British military commander who led forces in China during the First Opium War in the 1840s. This naming followed a common pattern across Hong Kong Island, where hills and streets were often given the names of British officers and officials.

The Chinese name 歌賦山 is a transliteration of Gough, not a translation, so it carries no meaning about songs or verses. The peak also hosts a radio transmission station that broadcasts the analogue sound signals of three Hong Kong radio stations.

The summit itself is off-limits because of the private residential complex at the top, but the trails on the surrounding slopes are open to walkers. Access is easiest from the Victoria Peak area, and sturdy footwear is a good idea given the uneven terrain.

The summit is occupied by a housing complex, so the top of Mount Gough is closed to the general public. The peak also carries a radio transmission station that broadcasts the analogue sound signals of three Hong Kong radio stations.
