Mount Gough, Mountain peak in Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong
Mount Gough is a mountain peak on Hong Kong Island rising 384 meters above sea level. A residential complex occupies the summit, but surrounding trails provide walking routes through the hilly terrain.
The peak was named after Hugh Gough, a British military commander in China during the colonial era. This naming reflects the early British influence when Hong Kong was being developed.
The mountain, known as 歌賦山 in Chinese, represents the intersection of natural geography and urban development in modern Hong Kong society.
Direct access to the summit is not possible due to the private residential complex. Visitors can explore the surrounding walking trails and enjoy different views from various points around the area.
The mountain ranks fourth in elevation among nine peaks within the Central and Western District. Mount Kellett stands as its nearest higher neighbor nearby.
