Kowloon West II Battery, Artillery battery in Yau Tsim Mong District, Hong Kong.
The Kowloon West II Battery features military architecture with earthwork fortifications and gun emplacements within the green surroundings of Kowloon Park.
The battery was constructed during British colonial rule as part of a strategic coastal defense system to protect Hong Kong's harbor from naval attacks.
This Grade I historic building represents the transformation of Kowloon Peninsula from small fishing villages to a fortified British territory after 1860.
The battery site connects to multiple MTR stations and bus routes, with direct access through the main entrance of Kowloon Park.
Former gun emplacements of the battery now function as a children's adventure playground while maintaining original naval guns discovered during excavations.
